Where the Office is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that any conduct specified in subsection (2) is being carried out by any person, the Office may issue a cease and desist order to the person concerned.
The conduct referred to in subsection (1) includes any operations in contravention of this Act, the regulations or sectoral legislation.
An order under subsection (1) shall —
state the nature of the alleged conduct and the name of the person against whom the allegation is made; and
be accompanied by documents, if any, in support of the allegation.
Any person aggrieved by, or dissatisfied with, the order of the Office may, within twenty-one days of the communication of the order to the person, or such longer period as the Office may, for good cause shown, allow, apply to the Office in writing for its decision to be reviewed.
On receipt of the application for review, the Office shall, if the applicant has applied to be heard personally or by a representative, decide whether the applicant shall be so heard and, if it is so decided, fix a time and a date for such hearing and notify the applicant.
At every hearing of a review where the applicant or the applicant's representative is present, the applicant or the applicant's representative shall be given an opportunity to address the Office.
The decision of the Office shall be notified to the applicant with the least possible delay.
