Reference of proposed licensing scheme to Controller.
|
342.—(1) The terms of a licensing scheme proposed to be operated by a licensing body may be referred to the Controller by an organisation which claims to be representative of persons claiming that they require licences in cases of a description to which the scheme would apply.
|
|
| |
(2) The Controller shall not consider a reference by an organisation under subsection (1) unless the Controller is satisfied that the organisation is representative of the class of persons that it claims to represent.
|
|
| |
(3) The Controller may refuse to consider a reference under subsection (1) on the ground that the reference is premature.
|
|
| |
(4) Where the Controller decides to consider a reference under subsection (1) he or she shall consider the subject matter of the reference and make an order, either confirming or varying the proposed scheme, as the Controller may determine to be reasonable in the circumstances.
|

| |
(5) An order under subsection (4) may be made for such period as the Controller may determine.
