16AA. Power of Chief Commissioner to modify participation condition



(1) The Chief Commissioner may on application by the holder of a handgun
target shooting licence, vary the number of approved target shooting matches
or handgun target shoots that the holder is required to participate in under
this Act, if the Chief Commissioner is satisfied that-

   (a)  the holder of the licence was unable to participate in such matches or
        shoots for reasons outside the holder's control; or

   (b)  the holder of the licence was unable to complete any such match or
        shoot that he or she was participating in-

   (i)  for reasons outside the holder's control; and

   (ii) where the person officiating at the match or shoot reasonably believed
        that the holder of the licence endeavoured as best he or she could to
        complete his or her participation.

(2) An application under this section must be in the form approved by the
Chief Commissioner.
