Chapter V : General Provisions Applicable to Self-Regulatory Organisations

50. Refusal of renewal of licence

 

(1) The registrar may refuse to renew a licence if during the year preceding the date of the application for renewal the applicant failed to—
(a) comply with this Act or the rules of the self-regulatory organisation;
(b) comply with a direction, request, condition or requirement of the registrar in terms of this Act; or
(c) give effect to a decision of the board of appeal in terms of section 111, and such failure has defeated the objects of this Act referred to in section 2 or is likely to defeat them.

 

(2) The registrar must, before refusing to renew a licence—
(a) inform the applicant of the registrar’s intention to refuse renewal;
(b) give the applicant the reasons for the intended refusal; and
(c) call upon the applicant to show cause within a period specified by the registrar why the renewal should not be refused.

 

(3) If the registrar refuses to renew a licence the registrar must take such steps as are necessary to achieve the objects of this Act referred to in section 2, which steps may include—
(a) the transfer of the business of the self-regulatory organisation to another similar self-regulatory organisation; or
(b) the winding-up of the self-regulatory organisation in terms of section 107.
