Schedule 3:  Transitional provisions

This Schedule contains transitional provisions to enable a court of summary jurisdiction to continue to deal with applications for the grant and provisional grant of bookmaking office licences for which notice of application has been published and served before the commencement date of Article 5(1) of the Order.  From that date, responsibility for the grant and provisional grant of bookmaking office licences will transfer to county courts.
