FISHERIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1966 - SECT 137

Suspension or revocation of shell-fish fishery licence.

137.(1) Without prejudice to subsection (2), a shell-fish fishery licence may
be suspended or revoked in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 1; and
in the application of those provisions for the purposes of this section
"licence" shall mean a shell-fish fishery licence.

(2) Notwithstanding that there has not been, in relation to a
shell-fish fishery licence, any contravention such as is mentioned in
paragraph 1 of Schedule 1, the Department may suspend or revoke such a licence
when it suspends or, as the case may be, revokes a fish culture licence held
by the licensee in respect of any place at which the area specified in the
shell-fish fishery licence is situated; but, where the revocation of the fish
culture licence is annulled by the county court on an appeal under paragraph 6
of Schedule 1, the shell-fish fishery licence shall be revived.

(3) Upon the revocation of a shell-fish fishery licence, all rights conferred
by the licence shall absolutely determine, but they shall revive if the
licence is revived under subsection (2).

(4) When a shell-fish fishery licence is revoked the Department shall

(a)cause notice of the revocation to be published in the Belfast Gazette; and

(b)notify the revocation to the Secretary of State, and also to the Crown
Estate Commissioners where the licence was granted with their consent.]
