Revocation, &c.,
of license or
certificate.

25. (1) Any license or certificate issued or enuring under these
    regulations may at any time be suspended, revoked, or withdrawn by
    the Minister at his discretion in case of misconduct or breach on the
    part of the holder of the International Radio-telegraph Convention,
    or of these regulations, or of any conditions, directions, or rules prescribed by the Minister for the guidance of operators or for the working
    of the licensed station, or of any conditions, directions, or rules subject
    to which the license or certificate was issued. The licensee shall not
    be entitled to compensation for any suspension, revocation, or withdrawal of a license or certificate under this regulation.

(2) Such suspension, revocation, or withdrawal shall be effected by
notice served on the licensee or holder of the certificate personally or
sent by registered post addressed to him at his usual or last known
place of abode or business in New Zealand, or at any address stated
in the license or certificate, or in any application for a license or
certificate, or publicly notified as provided by clause (4) of this
regulation; and shall be deemed to have been given, if sent by post,
at the time when it would be received at its address in the ordinary
course of registered post, and, if publicly notified, on the day following
the first publication of the notice. Any license or certificate revoked
or withdrawn under this regulation shall be forthwith surrendered
to the Minister.

(3) Any person who without reasonable cause fails to surrender
any license or certificate so withdrawn as aforesaid after having been
required in writing or otherwise by the Minister, or by any person
acting on his behalf, so to do shall be liable to a fine not exceeding £5.

(4) The Minister may, by notice in the Gazette or otherwise, publicly
notify the suspension, revocation, or withdrawal of any license or
certificate, and may give notice to any person or company or any
official of the New Zealand Government or any other Government
of the fact of such suspension, revocation, or withdrawal.

Control of
station in
emergency.

26. (1) If and whenever an emergency shall have arisen in which
    it is expedient in the public interest that His Majesty's Government
    shall have control over the transmission or reception of messages by
    the apparatus of any licensed radio-station, it shall be lawful for any
    officer of His Majesty's Navy or Army, or for any other person authorized in that behalf by the Admiralty or by the Minister, to take
    possession of or to cause the apparatus or any part thereof to be taken
    possession of in the name and on behalf of His Majesty, and to be
    used for His Majesty's service, and subject thereto for such ordinary
    services as to the said officer or person may seem fit; and in that
    event any person authorized by the said officer or person may enter
    upon any station at or on which any such apparatus is installed and
    take possession of the said apparatus and use the same as aforesaid.

(2) Any such officer or person may in such event as aforesaid,
instead of taking possession of the apparatus as aforesaid, direct and
authorize such persons as he may think fit to assume the control of the
reception and/or transmission of messages by the licensed apparatus,
either wholly or partly and in such manner as he may direct, and such
persons may enter upon any station at which any apparatus is
installed accordingly; or the said officer or person may—

(a) Direct the licensee, his servants or agents, to submit to him,
or any person authorized by him all messages tendered for
transmission or received by the licensed apparatus, or any
class or classes of such messages; to stop or delay the
transmission of any messages, or deliver the same to him
or his agent; and generally to obey all such directions with
reference to the reception and/or transmission of messages
as the said officer or person may prescribe; or

(b) Dismantle or order the dismantling of the said apparatus;
and the licensee, his servants or agents, shall obey and conform to
all such directions or orders.

Minister not
liable.

27. Neither the Minister nor the Post and Telegraph Department
    shall be liable for any action, claim, or demand that may be brought
    or made by any person in respect of any bodily injury or damage to
    property arising from any act permitted by a license issued under
    these regulations.

Patents.

28. Except as provided in section 204 of the said Act or in Regulation 213 hereof the issue of a license under these regulations shall not
    relieve the licensee of responsibility for any infringement of any
    patent for an invention.
