  1. That the said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any time resumed by the Governor, and the licensee may be required to remove the shed, at his own cost, without payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the licensee three calendar months’ previous notice in writing. Any such notice shall be sufficient if given by the Minister, and delivered at or posted to the last known address of the licensee in New Zealand.

  2. The licensee shall be liable for any injury which may be sustained by any vessel or boat in passing the shed or by contact with it, and which may be occasioned by any default or neglect on his part.

  3. In case the licensee shall—
    (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions hereinbefore set forth, or any of them;
    (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said shed for a period of thirty days;
    (3.) Fail to pay the sums specified in clause three of these conditions; or
    (4.) Become bankrupt, or be in any manner brought under the operation of any law in force for the time being relating to bankruptcy,

then and in any of the said cases this Order in Council, and every right, power, or privilege, may be revoked and determined by the Governor in Council without any notice to the licensee or other proceeding whatsoever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the licensee, and to all persons concerned or interested, that this Order in Council, and the rights and privileges thereby conferred, have been revoked and determined; and upon such revocation the Minister may cause the said shed, and all other erections or buildings thereto belonging, to be removed, and may recover the cost incurred by any such removal from the licensee.

  1. The erection of the shed shall be deemed to be an acceptance by the licensee of the conditions of this Order in Council.
