Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) The CEO may, by writing under his or her hand, revoke or vary a quota order at any time before:
(a) the expiration of the declared period to which the quota order relates; or
(b) the expiration of the period within which application may be made for the review of the quota order;
whichever last occurs.
(2) Where a quota order is revoked by the CEO under this section, the revocation shall be deemed to have taken effect on the day on which the order came into force.
(3) The revocation of a quota order under this section does not prevent the making of a further quota order that is applicable to the person to whom the revoked quota order was applicable and that has effect with respect to the declared period in respect of which the revoked quota order had effect, whether or not the kind of goods to which the further quota order relates is the same as the kind of goods to which the revoked quota order related.
(4) Subject to subsection (5), a variation of a quota order under this section shall, for the purposes of section 59A, be deemed to have had effect on and from the day on which the quota order came into force.
(5) Where:
(a) a quota order applicable to a person states that the person's quota in respect of goods of the kind to which the order relates is a quantity specified in the order; and
(b) the CEO varies the order in such a way that the order specifies a lesser quantity or states that the person's quota is nil;
the variation has effect on and from the day on which it is made.
