The current licensee and the proposed licensee may apply to the chief executive to transfer the licence to the proposed licensee.

However, if the current licensee is not the owner of the main premises, the owner of the premises must agree to the transfer.

If the licensee has deserted or no longer has lawful possession of the main premises, the chief executive may transfer a licence on the application of the owner of the premises and the proposed licensee or, if the owner is the proposed licensee, the owner alone.

If a mortgagee is in lawful possession of the main premises, the chief executive may transfer a licence on the application of the mortgagee and the proposed licensee or, if the mortgagee is the proposed licensee, the mortgagee alone.
