### sec.224 Provisional licences The commissioner may grant to an applicant for a licence under this part a provisional licence if the commissioner considers that— a decision in respect of the application may not be made for some time; and the conduct of gaming may be prejudiced or disadvantaged if the applicant is not granted a provisional licence; and the issue of the provisional licence will not prejudice or disadvantage gaming or the conduct of gaming. The commissioner may impose on a provisional licence such conditions as the commissioner considers are necessary in the public interest. If the commissioner grants a provisional licence, the commissioner must issue the licence in the approved form and endorse on the licence any conditions imposed under subsection (2) . A provisional licence remains in force until— a repairer’s licence, service contractor’s licence, gaming nominee’s licence or key monitoring employee’s licence is granted and issued or the commissioner refuses to grant the licence; or it is surrendered by its holder; or it is cancelled by the commissioner. The commissioner, at any time, may cancel a provisional licence granted under subsection (1) . No right of action arises against the commissioner or any other person because of a decision under subsection (5) in respect of the termination of employment or otherwise. A provisional licence while it remains in force and subject to conditions imposed under subsection (2) has the same effect as if it were a repairer’s licence, service contractor’s licence, gaming nominee’s licence or key monitoring employee’s licence. s 224 amd 1992 No. 35 sch; 1995 No. 58 s 4 sch 1 ; 1997 No. 24 ss 22 , 61 sch ; 1999 No. 8 s 75 ; 2002 No. 43 ss 76 , 112 sch 2 ; 2012 No. 25 ss 33 , 109 (1) (sec.224-ssec.1) The commissioner may grant to an applicant for a licence under this part a provisional licence if the commissioner considers that— a decision in respect of the application may not be made for some time; and the conduct of gaming may be prejudiced or disadvantaged if the applicant is not granted a provisional licence; and the issue of the provisional licence will not prejudice or disadvantage gaming or the conduct of gaming.
