Article 5(1)
1. Where, before the coming into operation of Article 5(1), notice of an application to a court of summary jurisdiction for the grant or provisional grant of a bookmaking office licence has been published and served under the principal Order, the court may proceed to hear the application and exercise any power which is exercisable by a county court under that Order in relation to the grant, conditional grant or provisional grant of such licences, as the case may require, and the court may treat the application as duly made notwithstanding that some provision of Schedule 2 to the principal Order has not been complied with.
2. Where a court of summary jurisdiction exercises the jurisdiction conferred by paragraph 1, the provisions of the principal Order and of any county court rules relating to the grant, conditional grant or provisional grant of bookmaking office licences (except any provision requiring the chief clerk to send documents to the clerk of petty sessions) shall have effect with any necessary modifications; and if the licence is granted it shall be signed by the clerk of petty sessions and Article 179(1) of the principal Order shall have effect accordingly.
