SCHEDULE 27Suspension and revocation of remote operating licences

Final notice

2

1

If it appears to the Commissioners that the breach has not been remedied in full within the period specified in the breach notice, they may give the holder of the remote operating licence a final notice.

2

The final notice must—

a

specify the breach and the extent to which it has not been remedied since the breach notice was given,

b

specify the period within which a review may be required or appeal brought, and

c

state that (unless the breach is remedied and subject to the outcome of any review, appeal or further appeal) the Commissioners will direct the Gambling Commission to suspend the remote operating licence after the end of the period.

3

The decision to give the final notice is to be treated as a relevant decision for the purposes of sections 15A and 15C to 16 of FA 1994 (customs and excise reviews and appeals) and, accordingly, the final notice must include an offer of a review of the decision under section 15A of that Act.

4

Only the holder of the remote operating licence may bring an appeal under section 16 of FA 1994 as applied by sub-paragraph (3).
