183: Procedure after issue of notice

You could also call this:

"What happens after you get a notice about a gambling agreement"

If you get a notice under section 182, you can respond to the Secretary. You must do this by the date stated in section 182. The other party can also make submissions to the Secretary by that date. The Secretary will look at your response and any submissions from the other party. If the Secretary is happy with the answers or submissions, they will not take any more action.

If the Secretary is not happy with the answers or submissions, or if you do not respond, they might tell you to end the agreement. The Secretary must put their decision and the reasons for it in writing and give it to the parties involved. They must also say when the agreement will end. The agreement will end on the date the Secretary says, unless the parties end it sooner.
