Part 6Access to fishery
Fishing permits
96Revocation of fishing permit
If the chief executive revokes a fishing permit under section 305A,—
- the fishing permit must be immediately cancelled; and
- the holder must ensure that the fishing permit and any duplicates are forthwith surrendered to the chief executive; and
- no fish, aquatic life, or seaweed taken after the date of the supply of the false or misleading information may be regarded as eligible catch for the purposes of section 34; and
- no individual catch entitlement under the permit entitles the holder to an allocation of any quota.
A person may request the chief executive to revoke any fishing permit issued to that person, and shall enclose the fishing permit and any duplicates with the request; and, upon revocation, the fishing permit shall cease to have any effect for the purpose of this Act.
Nothing in this section shall require the chief executive to remit or refund any fees, charges, or levies paid or payable by the fishing permit holder for the period from the date of issue of the permit to the date of revocation.
