13Powers of court in case of offences by registered firearms dealers
Where a registered firearms dealer is convicted of an offence under this Act or of an offence against the enactments relating to Customs in respect of the import or export of firearms or ammunition to which this Part of this Act applies, the court may order—
(a)that the name of the registered firearms dealer be removed from the register; and
(b)that neither the dealer nor any person who acquires the business of that dealer, nor any person who took part in the management of the business and was knowingly a party to the offence, shall be registered as a firearms dealer; and
(c)that any person who, after the date of the order, knowingly employs in the management of his business the dealer convicted of the offence, or any person who was knowingly a party to the offence, shall not be registered as a firearms dealer or, if so registered, shall be liable to be removed from the register; and
(d)that any stock in hand of the business shall be disposed of by sale or otherwise in accordance with such directions as may be contained in the order:
Provided that a person aggrieved by an order made under this section may appeal against the order in the same manner as against the conviction, and the court may, if they think fit, suspend the operation of the order pending the appeal.
