This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)Licensing justices may not renew a justices' licence at transfer sessions, except where the licence was due for renewal at the preceding general annual licensing meeting and the justices are satisfied that the applicant had reasonable cause for not applying for renewal at that meeting.
(2)A person intending to oppose an application for the renewal of a justices' licence shall give notice in writing of his intention to the applicant, specifying in general terms the grounds of the opposition, not later than seven days before the commencement of the licensing sessions at which the application is to be made, and unless notice has been so given the licensing justices shall not entertain the objection, except as provided by subsection (3) of this section.
(3)Where notice has not been given as required by subsection (2) of this section, the justices may, on objection being made to the renewal, adjourn consideration of the application to a day of which they shall give notice to the applicant and the objector, and shall on that day hear the application and the objection as if notice of intention to oppose had been given.
(4)Evidence given on an application for the renewal of a justices' licence shall be given on oath.
(5)Where the holder of a justices' licence fails to apply for its renewal at the general annual licensing meeting at which it is due for renewal, and the licence expires in consequence of his failure, an application by him for a similar licence for the same premises shall be treated as an application for renewal, and the grant of the licence applied for shall be treated as a renewal of the expired licence, if the application is made not later than the next general annual licensing meeting and the licensing justices are satisfied that he had reasonable cause for his failure.
