MILK ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1950 - SECT 2

Issue and revocation of licences.

2.(1) An application for a licence under this Act shall be in such form as
the Ministry may determine.

(2) The Ministry on receiving an application for a licence may before issuing
a licence cause an inspection to be made by an authorised officer of the
premises or, in the case of a licence other than a distributor's licence, the
herd proposed to be used for the purposes of the trade or business in respect
of which the application is made.

(3) An application duly made for the issue of a licence may be refused on the
grounds that

(a)the applicant is at the time a former licence holder whose licence has been
revoked or proposes to carry on business for or on behalf of, or at premises
still owned or occupied by, any such former licence holder;

(b)the applicant is a person who has been convicted of an offence under
this Act in respect of milk, or under any of the enactments mentioned in
section fourteen of this Act; or

(c)the Ministry is not satisfied that the premises proposed to be used for the
purposes of the trade or business comply with such requirements as shall be
prescribed.

(4) A licence may be revoked or suspended by the Ministry on any ground on
which the Ministry could have refused to grant the licence, or by reason of
the non-compliance of the holder of the licence with the terms of the licence
or the conditions applicable or prescribed in respect thereof or with any
directions given under this Act.

(5) The holder of a licence revoked or suspended by the Ministry under this
section may within twenty-eight days of the posting by the Ministry of a
registered letter duly addressed to him informing him of such suspension or
revocation serve on the Ministry in accordance with rules of court a notice of
appeal to quarter sessions against the suspension or revocation as the case
may be, and such appeal shall be heard and determined by the court of quarter
sessions for the district in which the holder resides ....

(6) A licence shall, unless suspended or revoked or surrendered by the licence
holder, remain in force until such date next after the date on which it is
granted, as shall be prescribed, but shall be renewable annually or at such
longer periods as may be prescribed and the provisions of this Act shall apply
to the renewal thereof as they apply to the grant thereof.
