Section 37: Closing order pending judgment

37. Closing order pending judgment (1) The Director, or any authorised officer duly designated by the Director for that purpose, may make a provisional closing order in respect of— (a) any tourist enterprise where he is satisfied that any of the grounds by virtue of which a tourist enterprise licence may be revoked under section 30, is present; (b) any premises where he has reasonable grounds to believe that it is being used to run a tourist enterprise— (i) in contravention of this Act or regulations made under it; or (ii) in such manner as to constitute a danger to public health, public order or public safety. (2) The provisional closing order shall remain in force until— (a) a final judgment has been given by the Court in the proceedings brought on account of the alleged offence; or (b) a determination has been given by the Tribunal, or a final judgment in respect of that determination has been given by the Court where the determination has been the subject of an appeal, but the Director may revoke a closing order made by him or under his authority where he is satisfied that the grounds by virtue of which the order was made no longer exist.
