        from the day immediately following the day of the determination of the
        application by the Director; or

   (b)  if the period of validity of the licence expires before the
        determination of the application by the Director or would have expired
        but for section 8A(6) of the Ordinance, a new licence shall be issued
        to the intended transferee by the Director, upon payment of the fee

(3) If the period of validity of a licence the subject of an application under
section 8A(2) of the Ordinance would have expired before the determination of
the Director but for section 8A(6) of the Ordinance, then the licensee shall
be liable for the prescribed fee for the licence-

   (a)  for the period from the day when the licence would have expired until
        the day of the determination of the application by the Director,
        withdrawal of the application or cancellation of the licence under
        section 9 of the Ordinance, whichever first occurs; and

   (b)  on a pro rata basis, unless section 16(3) of the Ordinance applies.
