Quick Take

A refusal to renew a bookmaker licence is not a 'revocation' for the purposes of cl 5 of the Racing Appeals Tribunal Regulation 2015 (NSW), and there is no right of appeal to the Racing Appeals Tribunal from such a decision. There is no rigid rule requiring joinder of the State when the validity of delegated legislation is challenged.
