Misconduct was attributed to an employee handling an export consignment, but the employee had acted without informing the licence holder and the licence holder was not examined during investigation. Suspension nearly 11 months after the incident did not demonstrate the urgency required for this exceptional power. A departmental enquiry and further action remained available under Regulation 23.
