You could also call this:

"When you're not allowed to have a boat licence: how it starts"

If a court decides you cannot hold or get a maritime document, this is called disqualification. The time you are disqualified starts on the day the court makes this decision, unless the court says it starts later. You will not be allowed to hold or get a maritime document during this time.
