PART XII POWERS OF REGISTRAR IN REGARD TO LICENCE SCHEMES AND LICENCES 111 Reference of licence scheme to Registrar (1) If, while a licence scheme is in operation, a dispute arises between the collecting society operating the scheme and— (a) a person who claims he requires a licence in a case of a class to which the scheme applies; or (b) an organisation that claims to represent persons requiring licences in cases of a class to which the scheme applies; that person or organisation may refer the scheme to the Registrar in so far as it relates to cases of that class. (2) If, while a licence scheme is in operation, any person claims that works of a description similar to those covered by the scheme are unreasonably excluded from it, he may refer the scheme to the Registrar. (3) The Registrar shall consider any scheme referred to him in terms of subsection (1) or (2) and, subject to section one hundred and fourteen, shall make such order, either confirming the licence scheme or varying it in so far as it relates to cases of the class to which the reference relates, as he considers to be reasonable in the circumstances. (4) An order of the Registrar in terms of subsection (3) may be made so as to be in force indefinitely or for such period as he may determine. (5) The Registrar may direct that an order in terms of subsection (3), in so far as it varies the charges payable for a licence, has effect from the date on which the reference was made or such later date as he may specify. (6) A licence scheme may be referred to the Registrar in terms of subsection (1) or (2) even if he has previously made an order under this section in regard to the scheme in so far as it relates to the same class of cases: Provided that no such subsequent reference shall be made within twelve months after the earlier order unless the Registrar, having regard to the special circumstances of the case, grants leave for the reference to be made. 112 Application to Registrar regarding grant or refusal of licence or terms thereof (1) Where a person claims that— (a) a collecting society has refused or failed within a reasonable time to grant him a licence or to procure a licence for him, and— Act 11/2001 - 59 Chapter 26:01
