13 Grant of approval for licence

(1) Where the Director-General would, but for the inability of the applicant for a licence to satisfy the Director-General as to the address of the place or places of business at which, or the name or names under which, the applicant intends to carry on business, grant the application for the licence, the Director-General may defer consideration of the application and grant the applicant an approval for the licence in such form as may be determined by the Director-General.

(a) as to the matter referred to in subsection (1), and

(b) that no change material to the applicant’s application for the licence has occurred since the application was last considered by the Director-General,

the Director-General shall, subject to section 12 (8), grant the application.
