Clause 100

The grant or renewal of any licence shall be in the discretion of the Commissioner and may be granted, renewed or refused without any reason for such grant, renewal or refusal being assigned therefor and may be granted or renewed subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Commissioner may think fit and shall be subject to suspension, cancellation or revocation at any time without compensation and without notice by the Commissioner upon breach of any restriction or condition subject to which it was issued or to any contravention of such of the provisions of this Act or any regulations made thereunder as affect such licence.

The Commissioner may require any applicant for a licence to furnish such information and evidence as he may reasonably require for a full and proper consideration of the application and in the event of a refusal to furnish the information shall refuse to grant or renew the licence.

Any person who wilfully furnishes any false information in any application for a licence shall be guilty of an offence and any licence granted shall be void and of no effect.

Except as otherwise provided, any licence may be for such period as the Commissioner thinks fit.

There shall be charged for the grant or renewal of any licence such fee, if any, as may be prescribed by the Minister.

Where a licence is issued for a period of less than 12 months, the Commissioner may charge a proportionate fee therefor; and in charging such proportionate fee, any part of a month shall be reckoned as one month.

No licensee shall be entitled to any refund of any fee paid by him in respect of any licence.

No person may in any manner transfer any licence or permit any licence to be used by any other person without the approval in writing of the Commissioner.

Except as otherwise provided, any person aggrieved by the refusal by the Commissioner to grant or renew a licence or by the suspension or revocation by the Commissioner of any licence may within 14 days of such refusal, suspension or revocation appeal to the Minister whose decision shall be final.

For the purposes of this section, “licence” includes any approval, permit, permission, authority, authorisation or licence which may be granted or renewed by the Commissioner in pursuance of this Act or any regulations made thereunder.
