Gaming Act 1968

16 (1) Where an application for cancellation of the registration of a club or institute under Part II of this Act is made by the Board, and the licensing authority refuse to cancel the registration, the Board may, by notice to the clerk to the licensing authority, appeal against the decision of the licensing authority to a court of quarter sessions having jurisdiction in the authority's area.

(2) The provisions of paragraph 31(2) to (4) of Schedule 2 to this Act, and of paragraph 32 of that Schedule, shall have effect in relation to any such appeal as they have effect in relation to an appeal by the Board against the grant or renewal of a licence, but as if in those provisions—

(a) any reference to any person (other than the Board) who opposed the application before the licensing authority were omitted, and

(b) any reference to the applicant who applied for the grant or renewal were a reference to the chairman or secretary of the club or institute.
