Expedited procedure for replacement of invalidated title

36A. Expedited procedure for replacement of invalidated title



(1) This section applies if-

   (a)  a court or tribunal finds a licence to be wholly or partly invalid and
        the invalidity stems from circumstances that were beyond the control
        of the holder of the licence; and

   (b)  the person who held the licence applies within 60 days after the
        finding to the Minister for the grant of a licence of the same type
        for all or part of the land covered by the former licence.

(2) The Minister may grant the licence to the person without the need to
comply with any procedural requirement that would usually apply to the grant
of such a licence.

(3) In granting a licence under this section, the Minister may impose any
conditions the Minister considers to be appropriate on the licence.
