If, at any time, the Authority has reason to believe that the holder of a licence has not, during the preceding period of twelve months, made full use of the licence, it may, by notice in writing addressed to such holder, call upon the holder of a licence to show cause why such licence should not be terminated, diminished or modified in such respects as may be specified in the notice.
If, within thirty days of the service of such notice, no reply has been received by the Authority, it may declare the licence terminated, diminished or modified, as the case may be.
The holder of a licence upon whom a notice has been served under subsection (1) may, within thirty days of such service, submit to the Authority a statement in writing of reasons why the licence should not be terminated, diminished or modified, as the case may be, and shall have a right to be heard in the matter.
The Authority shall consider any statement submitted to it under subsection (3) and shall, if so required, give the holder an opportunity of being heard in person or by the holder’s legal representative, and may thereafter, by notice in writing addressed to the holder, declare —
the licence terminated;
the licence diminished or modified in such respects as may be specified in the declaration; or
the licence be unchanged.
