- High Court
The application for an interim order directing issuance of a one‑day venue licence was declined: s92(1)(b) does not suspend the six‑month period for pending applications or appeals, Parliament deliberately omitted a suspension mechanism, and it is inappropriate for the Court to reset statutory time limits by ordering a one‑day licence; discretionary backdating by the Gambling Commission and the statutory scheme reflect the appropriate status quo and remedy structure.
