Electricity (Licensing) Regulations 1991

If an application is made under regulation 44(1) for the renewal of the registration of a licence and the registration is renewed before the expiry of the registration, the renewal has effect on and from the day immediately following the day on which the registration would, but for the renewal, have expired.

If an application is made under regulation 44(1) for the renewal of the registration of a licence before the expiry of the registration, but the application is not determined before the expiry of the registration —

the registration of the licence continues to have effect on and from the day immediately following its expiry until whichever of the following occurs first —

the Board notifies the licence holder that it refuses to accept the application;

the licence holder withdraws the application;

the Board notifies the licence holder that it has renewed, or has refused to renew, the registration of the licence;

the registration of the licence, if renewed, is taken to have been renewed on the day immediately following its expiry.

If an application is made under regulation 44(1) for the renewal of the registration of a licence after the expiry of the registration, and the registration is renewed —

the renewal has effect only for the balance of the period mentioned in the certificate of registration that remains after the registration is renewed; and

the renewal of the registration does not affect the illegality of anything done after the registration expired and before it was renewed.

Nothing in this regulation affects any power under these regulations to cancel a licence.
