PART IV LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

114 Holder of licence or certificate under Licensing Acts
1 If it appears to an election court that a person holding a licence or certificate under the Licensing Acts has knowingly permitted any bribery or treating in relation to any Assembly election to take place upon his licensed premises—
(a) the court shall, after affording him such rights as are conferred on those about to be reported under article 109(1), report the fact, and
(b) the court shall bring the report before the licensing authority from whom, or on whose certificate, that person obtained his licence, and the licensing authority shall cause the report to be entered in the proper register of licences.
2 The entry of the report in that register shall be taken into consideration by the licensing authority in determining whether they will or will not grant a renewal of the licence or certificate of the person reported and may be a ground, if the authority think fit, for refusing renewal.
