|
| |
(b) the Minister shall be named as respondent in any application to the High Court under the next preceding paragraph of this section;
|
|
| |
(c) the High Court, if it is satisfied that such applicant has complied or will in due course comply with the provisions of the Act of 1909 and this Act and that, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, it is just and equitable that such licence should be granted to such applicant, may make an order declaring that such licence should be granted to such applicant;
|
|
| |
(d) whenever the High Court makes an order under this section declaring that an assurance licence should be granted to an applicant therefor, the Minister shall, as soon as conveniently may be, grant, under and in accordance with this Act, such licence to such applicant.
