(1) Within 1 day after the happening of an event constituting a contravention of a condition of a licence, the licensee must lodge a written notice setting out particulars of the event. (2) It is a defence to a charge arising under subsection (1) if it is proved that:

(a)

when the licensee was required to lodge the notice, the licensee was unaware of a fact or occurrence that gave rise to the requirement; and

(b)

in a case where the licensee has since become aware of that fact or occurrence—the licensee lodged the notice as soon as practicable after becoming so aware.
