EXPLOSIVES ACT 1999 - SECT 28

28 Amendment of authority on application

(1) An authority holder may apply to the chief inspector for an amendment of the authority.

(2) The application must--

(a) be made at least 28 days before the holder wants the amendment to take effect; and
(b) be accompanied by the fee prescribed under a regulation.

(3) However, failure to comply with subsection (2) does not prevent the chief inspector dealing with the application.

(4) The chief inspector must decide the application by--

(a) amending the authority in the way sought; or
(b) refusing to amend the authority.

(5) The chief inspector may amend the authority only if the chief inspector is reasonably satisfied the amendment is desirable in the interests of the effective administration of this Act.

(6) If the chief inspector decides to amend the authority, the chief inspector must promptly give the authority holder a written notice stating the decision and the amendment.

(7) If the chief inspector decides not to amend the authority, the chief inspector must promptly give the authority holder a written notice stating--

(a) the decision; and
(b) the reasons for the decision; and
(c) that the holder may appeal against the decision to a Magistrates Court within 28 days after the notice is given to the holder.
