If the commissioner considers that special circumstances exist, the commissioner may extend the term of a licence under this part, or renewal of the licence, for 1 month from the date of its expiration to allow the holder of the licence to comply with this section.
During the period of extension, the licence has the same effect as if it had been renewed.
If a licensee complies with this section, the commissioner must renew the licence for 5 years starting on—
if an extension was not given under subsection (3) —the day after its last expiry; or
if an extension was given under subsection (3) —the day after the day it would have last expired apart from the extension.
If an application under subsection (1) is refused, the commissioner must immediately give the applicant an information notice for the decision to refuse to renew the licence.
