Finance Act 2014

Reinstatement of remote operating licence

5 (1) An appeal tribunal may direct the Gambling Commission to reinstate a remote operating licence suspended pursuant to a direction under paragraph 3 if the tribunal gives permission to appeal against a decision to give a final notice under section 16(1F) of FA 1994 (appeal out of time).

(2) The reinstatement of a remote operating licence pursuant to a direction given under sub-paragraph (1) does not prevent the Commissioners from giving a further direction under paragraph 3(1) in reliance on the final notice if—

(a) the decision to give the notice is upheld (in whole or in part) in the proceedings on the appeal or any further appeal, or the proceedings on the appeal or any further appeal have been abandoned, withdrawn or discontinued, and

(b) the period during which any further appeal may ordinarily be brought has ended without an appeal being brought.

(3) In this paragraph “appeal tribunal” has the same meaning as in Chapter 2 of Part 1 of FA 1994.
