Part VIII Suspension of Licences by reason of War Circumstances

134 Extinguishment of licence in suspense when suspension no longer justified.

(1)

Where a licence is in suspense and the licensing justices are satisfied that there are no longer any war circumstances that justify its continuing to be in suspense, they may order it to be extinguished at the expiry of such period as may be specified in the order unless it is again in force for all purposes by virtue of section 133 of this Act before the expiry of that period.

(2)

If Her Majesty by Order in Council declares that there are in general no longer any war circumstances that justify justices’ licences continuing to be in suspense, every licence in suspense at the date of the Order shall be extinguished at the expiry of such period as may be specified in the Order unless it is again in force for all purposes by virtue of section 133 of this Act before the expiry of that period.

(3)

Licensing justices may, on application made to them in that behalf, extend the period specified in an order under subsection (1) of this section, or, in relation to a particular licence, the period specified in an Order in Council under subsection (2) of this section.
