65 .         Power to renew practising certificate or defer action in special circumstances

        (1)         Despite any other provision of this Division, the Board may renew a holder’s local practising certificate if the end of the financial year for which the holder’s current practising certificate is in force is imminent and the Board has not made a determination under section 63 in relation to the holder.

        (2)         The renewal of a practising certificate in the circumstances referred to in subsection (1) does not prevent a determination from subsequently being made and action taken under this Division to cancel, suspend or amend the holder’s local practising certificate.

        (3)         Despite any other provision of this Act, where the Board is required to determine a matter under section 63 in relation to a holder, it may, for the purpose of enabling the proper arrangement of the affairs of the holder —

            (a)         renew the holder’s local practising certificate for such period, specified in the local practising certificate, as the Board considers necessary to achieve that purpose; or

            (b)         defer cancelling or suspending the holder’s local practising certificate for such period as the Board considers necessary to achieve that purpose.
