Consideration of the application by the Commission
The applicant will be notified at least 14 days in advance of the proposed Commission meeting at which the application will be considered, together with details of the proposed recommendations. The applicant may attend the Commission meeting with up to two other individuals who may be another executive of the applicant or an adviser.
If the application has a recommendation for refusal, then the applicant will be given the opportunity for an adjournment for legal representation.
Once the application has been considered, the Commission will announce its decision in writing, including if applicable any outstanding matters to be addressed before a licence will be issued. If an application is refused, the reasons for refusal will be stated and the rights of appeal in relation to the Commission's decision (ie to the Council of Ministers Review Committee) will be explained to the applicant.
It should be noted that the hearing of the licence application will be taped for note taking purposes only.
