65D: Revocation of clearances

You could also call this:

"The Commission can cancel a clearance if you gave wrong information or something important changes."

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

The Commission can take back a clearance they gave you under section 65A if they think the information you gave them was false or misleading, or if something important has changed. You will get a chance to tell the Commission what you think before they make a decision. The Commission will listen to what you have to say and think about it before deciding whether to take back the clearance.
