Hong Kong Regulations

HAWKER REGULATION - SECT 21

Renewal of licences

(Past version on 30/06/1997).

(1) The Director may, on application being made to him by the licensee before
the expiry of his licence, renew the licence (not being a temporary licence or
a deputy's permit) for a further period of 12 months. (L.N. 3 of 1973)

(2) Every such application shall be in such form and contain such particulars
as may be specified by the Director and shall be accompanied by the prescribed
fee and by the licensee's licence. (See Schedule, Part I)

(3) Where a licensee applies for the renewal of his licence before the date of
its expiration and the Director does not renew it on or before that date, the
licence shall, unless sooner terminated under the Ordinance or this
Regulation, remain in full force and effect until the licensee is notified
either that the licence is renewed or that the Director has refused to renew
it, as the case may be.

(4) Nothing in this section shall preclude the Director from renewing an
expired licence, but such a renewal shall not render the licence valid for the
period between the date of its expiry and the date of its renewal.
