If an application is made under section 57 , the applicant’s licence is taken to continue in force from the day that it would, apart from this section, have expired until the application is decided under section 58 or withdrawn. If the chief executive restores the licence— the licence is taken to have been renewed on the day it would, apart from this section, have expired (the initial expiry date ); and to remove any doubt, a thing done during the period starting on the initial expiry date and ending on the day the licence is restored is taken to have been as validly done as it would have been if the licence had been renewed immediately before the initial expiry date.
