67. Modification of conditions of gambling venue approval

(1)

Subject to this section, it is lawful for the Authority to modify the conditions of a gambling venue approval without compensating the licensee concerned.

(2)

Before modifying any conditions of a gambling venue approval, the Authority must, unless subsection (5) applies, give notice to the licensee concerned —

(a)

stating that the Authority proposes to make the modification in the manner as specified in the notice; and

(b)

specifying the time (being not less than 14 days from the date of service of notice on the licensee) within which the licensee may make written representations to the Authority with respect to the proposed modification.

(3)

Upon receiving any written representation mentioned in subsection (2), the Authority must consider that representation and may —

(a)

reject the representation;

(b)

amend the proposed modification in such manner as the Authority thinks fit having regard to the representation; or

(c)

withdraw the proposed modification.

(4)

Where —

(a)

the Authority rejects any written representation under subsection (3)(a); (b)the Authority amends any proposed modification to the conditions of the gambling venue approval under subsection (3)(b); or

(c)

no written representation is received by the Authority within the time specified in subsection (2)(b), or any written representation made under that subsection is subsequently withdrawn, and the licensee has not given immediate effect to the modification, the Authority must issue a written direction to the licensee in question requiring the licensee, within the time specified by the Authority, to give effect to the modification as specified in the notice under subsection (2) or as amended by the Authority, as the case may be.

(5)

However, where the Authority considers that it is impracticable or undesirable, in the circumstances of the particular case for him or her to give notice under subsection (2) before modifying the conditions of a particular gambling venue approval because of any act, omission or other thing that is of such a serious nature that the integrity of the conduct of the gambling service at the approved gambling venue is jeopardised, the Authority may, without compensating the licensee concerned, and by giving notice to that licensee, modify the conditions of the particular gambling venue approval with immediate effect.
