(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply in the case of a personal representative who is subject to a disqualification order under any of the provisions set out in regulation 6.
(3) The personal representative shall notify the district council which issued the licence that the licence has been vested in them within 1 month of the death of the licence holder.
