Subject to section 29, where —
the holder of any licence or permit has changed that holder’s name or address;
the owner of any firearm to which a Firearm User’s (Restricted) Licence relates has ceased to be the owner or occupier of premises specified in such licence; or
the owner of any firearm to which a Firearm User’s (Restricted) Licence relates has become the owner or occupier of any premises not specified in such licence,
then in any such case the holder of the licence or the owner of the firearm, as the case may be, shall notify the appropriate authority in writing of the details of any of the changes mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) not later than seven days after such change, and the appropriate authority —
in any case within the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) shall; and
in any case within the provisions of paragraph (c), may in that authority’s absolute discretion,
amend the licence in such manner as may be appropriate. A holder of any licence or permit or an owner of any firearm, as the case may be, who fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection within the specified period commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of one thousand dollars and to imprisonment for three months.
Where the appropriate authority desires to amend any licence or permit under this section the authority may give notice in writing to the holder of such licence —
specifying the nature of the amendment which the authority desires to make to such licence; and
requiring the holder thereof to cause such licence to be delivered to that authority on or by some day (not being less than three days after the receipt by the holder of such notice) specified in such notice for the purpose of such amendment being effected thereto.
Whoever, on being required so to do by notice under subsection (2), fails to cause any licence to be delivered to the appropriate authority on or before the day specified in such notice commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of five thousand dollars and to imprisonment for six months.
