Section 14

On application being made to the Director in the prescribed manner, the Director may grant to the applicant a renewal of any licence held by the applicant, or may, if the Director thinks fit, refuse to grant a renewal of the licence.

Sections 9, 10 and 11 shall apply to every application for the renewal of a licence as if it were an application for a new licence.

In granting any renewal of a licence the Director may endorse the existing licence or he may issue a new licence in lieu thereof, but every such new licence shall show on the face thereof that it is a renewal of a licence.

Every application for the renewal of a licence shall be made not later than one month before the date of expiry of the licence or within such further time as may be allowed by the Director in any particular case.

The renewal of a licence may be granted in advance and shall, unless previously cancelled, take effect from the expiry date of the licence in renewal of which it is granted.

Where application for renewal of a licence is duly made under this section the licence shall, where the application is not disposed of before the date of expiry of the licence, continue in force until the application is disposed of.

Subject to section 21, every decision of the Director on an application for renewal of a licence under this section shall be final.
