NATURE CONSERVATION ACT 1992 - SECT 107

107 Suspension of licences etc.

(1) If a licence, permit or other authority issued or given under any Act permits the holder to do an act that would contravene an interim conservation order, the Minister may, by order, suspend the operation of the authority to the extent that it permits the doing of the act.

(2) The Minister must give written notice of the order to the authority holder.

(3) If the Minister considers that it is impracticable to give notice to each holder of a particular class of authority, it is sufficient compliance with subsection (2) if the Minister gives notice of the order to the authority holders by publishing a notice in such newspapers as the Minister determines.

(4) The suspension—

(a) takes effect from—

(i) if notice is given under subsection (2) —the day the notice is received by the holder; or

(ii) if notice is given under subsection (3) —the day the notice is first published in a newspaper; or

(iii) if a later day is specified in the notice—the later day; and

(b) ends—

(i) when the interim conservation order ends; or

(ii) if an earlier day is specified in the notice—on the earlier day.

(5) This section applies despite any other Act.
