122: Miscellaneous provisions concerning actions under section 120

You could also call this:

“Rules about paying fines and following orders when the Board takes action against you”

If the Board imposes a fine on you under section 120, you have to pay it. The Board can take you to court to get the money if you don’t pay.

When the Board makes an order under section 120, it starts working right away. But don’t worry, you won’t get in trouble for things you did earlier that day before the order was made.

If your employer licence is suspended, you can’t do the things that the licence usually lets you do. This lasts for as long as the suspension does.

When the suspension is over, your employer licence starts working again straight away. But if there’s another reason to suspend or cancel your licence, it might not start working again.

  1. Every fine imposed under section 120 is recoverable in any court of competent jurisdiction as a debt due to the Board.

  2. An order under section 120 takes effect on the day of the making of the order; but that fact does not make any person concerned liable to prosecution or disciplinary proceedings for any act done or omitted during any part of that day before the order was made.

  3. If a person's employer licence is suspended, the person is not authorised under section 117 for the period for which the licence is suspended.

  4. At the end of a period of suspension, the person's employer licence is immediately revived (unless there is some other ground to suspend or cancel that person's employer licence).
