Appeal from local or harbour authority.

33.—(1) If a local or harbour authority refuses to grant a licence or grants a licence on conditions with which the applicant is dissatisfied, the authority shall, at his request, deliver to him a certificate stating the grounds on which the authority has refused a licence or attached the conditions.

(2) The applicant may appeal to the Minister from the decision of the authority within ten days after receipt of the certificate or such further time as the Minister may allow.

(3) The appeal shall be in writing setting out the applicant's claim and shall be accompanied by the certificate.

(4) Having considered the appeal the Minister may, at his discretion, direct the authority to grant or cancel the licence, to attach specified conditions to the licence or to amend or delete a condition attached to the licence, and the authority shall, subject to any variation thereof under section 34, comply with the direction.
