131: Offence to carry out activity while authorisation withdrawn or after authorisation revoked

You could also call this:

"Breaking the law: doing something without permission after it's been taken away"

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

If you do something that needs permission, but that permission has been taken away, you can get in trouble. This can happen if your permission is withdrawn under section 127(2)(d) or (e) or if it is cancelled under section 130. You are not allowed to do the activity during this time.

If you break this rule, you can be fined up to $10,000 if you are found guilty. You will have to go to court and the judge will decide what happens to you. The court can fine you if you do something that needs permission, but you do not have it.
