7 .         Constitution and jurisdiction of licensing authority

        (1)         The licensing authority comprises —

            (a)         the Liquor Commission; and

            (b)         the 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.

        (2)         The licensing 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.
