Fisheries (Consolidation) Act, 1959

Determination of licences by certificate of the Minister.

250.—(1) Notwithstanding anything in any oyster bed licence such licence shall be determinable by a certificate of the Minister certifying that he is not satisfied that the licensee is properly cultivating the oyster ground within the limits of such licence, and, on any such certificate being made, the right conferred by the licence shall absolutely determine.

(2) For the purposes of this section the Minister may from time to time with respect to any oyster bed licence or any licensed oyster fishery make such inquiries and examinations and require the licensee to furnish such information as the Minister thinks necessary, and the licensee shall afford all facilities for such inquiries and examinations and give such information accordingly.
