66 . Cancellation or amendment of exemption certificate
(1) Subject to
subsections (2) and (3), the committee may cancel or amend an exemption
certificate by written notice given to the holder of the certificate if
satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that the disclosure statement made under
section 64 —
(a)
contained information that was false or misleading in a material particular;
or
(b)
failed to disclose information that was materially relevant or without which
the statement was misleading,
and, in the opinion of
the committee, this resulted in an exemption certificate being given —
(c) when
it should not have been given; or
(d)
which contained erroneous information.
(2) Before cancelling
or amending an exemption certificate the committee is to give the holder of
the certificate written notice —
(a)
stating details of the proposed action;
(b)
inviting the person to make representations to the committee to show why the
action should not be taken; and
(c)
stating the period (at least 21 days after the day on which the notice is
given to the person) within which written representations may be made.
(3) The committee may
take the proposed action —
(a) at
any time after the holder of the certificate gives the committee written
notice that the holder does not intend to make any representations or any
further representations; or
(b) if
such notice is not given —
(i)
after the end of the period stated in the notice within
which representations may be made; or
(ii)
if representations are made, after considering any
representations properly made.
(4) An exemption
certificate that is cancelled is of no effect.
