Appeals
Paragraph 51 of Schedule 11 of the Act sets out the processes for appeals against refusal or revocation of small society lottery registrations. The applicant or registered society may appeal if the licensing authority has rejected an application for registration or revoked the registration.
The appeal must be made within 21 days of receipt of a notice of the decision and must be made to the local magistrates’ court.
On appeal, the magistrates’ court may take the following action:
- Affirm the decision of the licensing authority.
- Reverse the decision.
- Make any other order (which may include a transitional provision).
