7 . Constitution and jurisdiction of licensing authority
(1) The licensing
authority comprises —
(a) the
Liquor Commission; and

Director of Liquor Licensing,
and may be constituted
by either, but the jurisdiction which may be exercised by it depends upon the
manner in which it is constituted and the powers conferred by this Act.

authority as constituted by the Commission may sit and exercise the
jurisdiction of the Commission notwithstanding that the licensing authority as
constituted by the Director is at the same time exercising jurisdiction, and
the Director may exercise jurisdiction while the Commission is sitting, but
not in relation to the same application or matter.
(3) Subject to this
Act, the Director —
(a) is
not to exercise jurisdiction in respect of a matter before the Commission or
within the jurisdiction of the Commission; and
(b) is
not subject to direction by the Commission, except as a party to proceedings
or as may be specifically provided by this Act.
