Note 1


Under subsection 16(2) of the Act, if APRA revokes a general insurer’s authorisation, APRA must

give written notice to the insurer and ensure that notice of the revocation is published in the Gazette. By virtue

of subsection 16(3)  of the Act, a revocation is not invalid merely  because  of a failure  to comply  with subsection 16(2)  of the Act

Note 2  Under  section 16A  of the Act, the notice  of revocation of the authorisation may state that the authorisation continues in effect  in relation to a specified matter  or specified period,  as though the revocation had not happened, for the purposes of a specified provision of the Act or the regulations, or a specified provision of another law of the Commonwealth that is administered by APRA,  or a specified provision of the prudential standards, and the statement has effect  accordingly.
