197Further provisions relating to application for authorisation
On receipt of an application for authorisation that is incomplete, not in accordance with any other requirements of the Minister, or not accompanied by the prescribed fee, the Minister may, at the Minister’s discretion,—
- accept the application and do the things referred to in section 196(1) in respect of that application; or
- return the application to the person by or on whose behalf it was made; or
- decline to register the application until the application is completed in accordance with section 195(2) or accompanied by the prescribed fee (as relevant).
If the Minister declines to register an application under subsection (1)(c), the Minister must immediately notify the person by or on whose behalf the application was made.
The Minister may require the following persons to provide, and those persons must provide, within the time the Minister specifies, further documents or information in relation to the application for authorisation for the purpose of enabling the Minister to exercise the Minister’s functions under this subpart:
- the person making the application:
- any person on whose behalf the application was made:
- any person to whom the application relates.
Despite section 196(1) and subsection (3) of this section, if the Minister is of the opinion that the matters to which an application relates are, for reasons other than those arising from the application of any provision of this Act, unlikely to be proceeded with, the Minister may, in the Minister’s discretion, return the application to the person by or on whose behalf the application was made.
Any person who has applied to the Minister for an authorisation may, at any time, by notice in writing to the Ministry, withdraw the application.
