  10. The company shall be liable for any injury which may
    be sustained by any vessel or boat in passing through the

    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-General in Council without any
    notice to the company or other proceedings whatsoever; and
    publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council
    containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the
    company, and to all persons concerned or interested, that
    this Order in Council, and the rights and privileges thereby
    conferred, have been revoked and determined.

  12. In the event of this Order in Council being revoked

    quired by the Minister so to do, clear the said site entirely
    and restore the said site to its original condition within three
    months from the date of revocation or expiry, as the case
    may be; and, if the company fails to do so, the Minister may
    cause the said site to be cleared and the site so restored, and
    may recover the costs incurred by the said removal and
    restoration from the company.

  13. The occupation of the site shall be deemed to be an
    acceptance by the company of the conditions of this Order
    in Council.
