### sec.63 Determination of application
The commission may, after considering an application for a licence—
grant the licence (conditionally or unconditionally); or
refuse the application.
In determining the application, the commission may take into consideration—
the suitability of the applicant; and
the nature and extent of the applicant’s experience in the business of general insurance; and
the applicant’s paid-up share capital and reserves; and
any reinsurance arrangements to which the applicant is a party; and
the likely effect on the statutory scheme of licensing the applicant; and
any other factors the commission considers relevant.
A licence may be granted only if the commission is satisfied that—
the applicant has enough financial resources to carry on business as a licensed insurer; and
the applicant has adequately experienced staff available in Queensland to administer personal injury claims under the CTP insurance scheme; and
the applicant is in all other respects an appropriate person to hold a licence; and
licensing the applicant would not adversely affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the statutory insurance scheme.
A licence must not be granted until the insurer has executed the industry deed.
Notice of the grant of a licence under this part, specifying the date on which the licence takes effect, must be given in the gazette.
