Proceedings against a Customs Broker under the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations were invalid because the mandatory ninety-day period for issuing notice was breached. Where no date of receipt of the offence report was disclosed, the Department's knowledge of the alleged contraventions through its own customs notice, and at the latest their adjudication, constituted the relevant starting point.
