64Issue of licences, certificates, and authorities
As soon after the licensing authority or a licensing committee has directed that a licence, certificate, or authority should be issued as its secretary is satisfied that all requirements imposed by the authority or committee as a condition of its issue have been met, he or she must issue the licence, certificate, or authority (endorsed, where appropriate, as the authority or committee has directed) to the applicant.
Even if the licensing authority or a licensing committee has directed that a licence should be issued for any premises, the premises are not licensed premises until the licence has been issued.
