Part 6: Personal Licences

A court which may order the forfeiture of an individual's personal licence under section 115 (as applied by section 128) may, whether or not it makes an order for forfeiture, make an order disqualifying the individual from holding a personal licence for a specified period, not exceeding ten years, beginning with the date of the order.

The Commission shall not issue a personal licence to a person while a disqualification order under this section has effect in respect of him.

Subsections (2) to (5) of section 115 shall have effect in relation to an order under this section (and in relation to a licence held by the person disqualified) as they have effect in relation to an order under that section (and in relation to the licence forfeited).
