(2) The Registrar shall, before cancelling a licence and forfeiting any money under subsection (1), give the licensee concerned notice in writing of his intention to do so specifying a date, not less than 14 days after the date of the notice, upon which the cancellation and forfeiture shall be made and calling upon the licensee to show cause to the Registrar why his licence should not be cancelled and why his money should not be forfeited.
(3) The Registrar, on receiving any representation from a licensee, may, instead of cancelling a licence and forfeiting any money under subsection (1), impose a penalty not exceeding $20,000 on the licensee and may recover the penalty from any cash deposit or other form of security given by the licensee to the Registrar.
