LICENSING ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1971 - SECT 10

Duration of new licences.

10.(1) Subject to the succeeding provisions of this section, a licence shall,
unless suspended, remain in force from the date on which it is granted (or,
where under section 9(2) it is expressed to come into force at any later date,
from that date) until

(a)the expiration of the licensing year in which it is granted, or

(b)if it is granted within the three months immediately preceding the
expiration of that year, the expiration of the next-following licensing year.

(2) Where, at the hearing of an application for the grant of a licence, any
person appears before the court and opposes the grant, but the court grants
the licence,

(a)until the expiry of the time for bringing an appeal against the grant and,
if an appeal is brought, until the grant is confirmed or the appeal is
abandoned

(i)the licence granted shall not come into force, and

(ii)the licence, if any, which has been surrendered shall not cease to be in
force;

(b)if on appeal the grant is confirmed or if the appeal is abandoned, for the
purpose of determining the period for which the licence is to be in force the
date when the appeal is disposed of shall be substituted for the date on which
the licence was granted or for any other date earlier than the first-mentioned
date on which the licence is expressed under section 9(2) to come into force,
and the [chief clerk] shall (if necessary) amend the licence accordingly;

(c)if on appeal the grant is not confirmed, the licence, if any, which has
been surrendered shall, unless suspended, continue in force until the
expiration of a period of eight weeks after the appeal is determined, if it
would have earlier ceased to be in force but for the provisions of this
paragraph.

(3) Where a licence granted provisionally is at any time declared final,
subsections (1) and (2) shall apply as if the licence were granted at that
time.

(4) Subsection (1) shall not prejudice the operation of subsection (2)(c) and
sections 16, 22(b), 23(8) and 25, under which a licence may, or may be deemed
to, continue in force after the time when it would otherwise expire.
