What is the responsibility of a prescribed person when informed of a suspension order?

The responsibility of a prescribed person upon being informed of a suspension order is to suspend the license in accordance with the order. This duty ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and upholds the integrity of the licensing process. The prescribed person must act promptly and according to the stipulations set out in the suspension order in order to enforce the legal standing of the decision made by the governing body.

By taking this action, the prescribed person helps to ensure the safety and standards required in their field, preventing any potential risks associated with a licensee operating under a suspended status. This reinforces the principle that upholding regulatory decisions is crucial for maintaining professional and public safety.

Other options do not align with proper legal processes and responsibilities. Ignoring the order undermines its authority, disputing it in court may be an option for the licensee but does not relieve the prescribed person of their duty to act, and notifying the licensee, while beneficial, does not fulfill the primary responsibility of implementing the suspension.
