ASIC may, if it considers it desirable to do so, instead:

(c)

by written order, suspend the licence for a specified period; or

(d)

by written order, prohibit the licensee, either permanently or for a specified period, from doing specified acts, being acts that section 1142 or 1143 would prohibit the licensee from doing if the licensee did not hold the licence.

(2) ASIC may at any time, by written order, vary or revoke an order in force under this section. (3) For the purposes of sections 1142, 1143, 1172 and 1173 a licensee is taken not to hold the licence at any time during a period for which the licence is suspended. (4) Where an order in force under this section prohibits the licensee as mentioned in paragraph (1)(d):

(a)

the licensee must not contravene the order; and

(b)

in relation to the doing by a person, as a representative of the licensee, of an act specified in the order, sections 1172 and 1173 apply, or apply during the period specified in the order, as the case requires, as if the licensee did not hold the licence.
