PETROLEUM (CONSOLIDATION) ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1929 - SECT 3

Appeals from refusals by local authority to grant licences.

3.(1) If on any application for a petroleum-spirit licence a local authority
refuse to grant the licence, or grant the licence on conditions with which the
applicant is dissatisfied, the local authority shall, if required by the
applicant so to do, deliver to him a certificate in writing signed by the
clerk of the local authority stating the grounds on which the authority has
refused the licence or attached the conditions, as the case may be, and the
applicant may appeal to the Minister of Home Affairs within ten days after the
receipt of the certificate or within such further time as the
Minister of Home Affairs may allow.

(2) Every appeal to the Minister of Home Affairs under this section shall be
made in writing asking that the licence may be granted notwithstanding the
refusal of the local authority, or that the conditions may not be attached or
may be modified in such manner and to such extent as may be set forth in the
appeal, and shall be accompanied by the certificate of the local authority
given under the last foregoing sub-section, and on consideration of any such
appeal the Minister of Home Affairs may, if he thinks fit, grant the licence
either without conditions or subject to such conditions as he thinks proper or
may modify the conditions attached by the local authority, and any licence so
granted or modified shall be in force for such time and be subject to such
provisions as to renewal as may be specified in the licence, and shall, when
certified under the hand of the Minister of Home Affairs, have effect as if
granted by a local authority.

(3) Before exercising his powers under the last foregoing sub-section with
respect to any appeal, the Minister of Home Affairs may, if he thinks it
necessary or desirable, cause an inquiry and report upon the matter to be made
to him by such person as he may appoint for the purpose.
