Suspension and revocation of billing account

(Past version on 01/12/2005).

(1) If any unpaid prescribed charge and surcharge is not paid as required
under section 18(4), the Director may suspend the billing account.

(2) On suspending a billing account, the Director shall issue to the
account-holder a final notice of demand in writing-

   (a)  requiring him to pay, within 14 days from the date of that notice-

        (i)    the prescribed charge and surcharge that have not been paid as
               required under section 18(4); and

        (ii)   any other outstanding prescribed charge incurred by him on that
               account before the suspension, whether or not that charge has
               become due for payment under section 18(2); and

   (b)  informing him that if the final notice of demand is not settled as
        required, the billing account will be revoked.

(3) The Director shall, within 14 days of the suspension of the
billing account, issue to the account-holder a notice in writing informing him
of the reason for the suspension.

(4) If the Director is subsequently satisfied that the reason for suspending a
billing account no longer exists, he may, with or without conditions,
reinstate the account on the application of the account-holder.

(5) If a final notice of demand is not settled as required under subsection
(2), the Director may revoke the billing account.

(6) The Director shall, within 14 days of the revocation of the
billing account, issue to the account-holder a notice in writing informing him
of the reason for the revocation.

(7) On the application of the account-holder of a revoked billing  account,
the Director may, with or without conditions, reinstate the account if all the
outstanding prescribed charges and surcharges under the revoked account have
been paid.

(8) The Director may make public the information that a billing  account has
been suspended, revoked, reinstated or closed, in a manner the Director
considers appropriate.
