I move amendment No. 9:

In page 10, between lines 17 and 18, to insert the following:

"(e) by inserting the following subsection after subsection (9):

"(10) Where the Court is satisfied that a particular licensed premises has, on an application for a special exemption order, made a particular case for an additional extension of the time during which intoxicating liquor may be sold on that premises beyond the time for which the special exemption order applies, the Court may, having considered all the reasons offered including reasons related to maintaining public order, grant a special extension of the time for which the special exemption order applies. Such special extension order shall permit the sale and consumption of intoxicating liquor upon that premises, without penalty for contravention of the provisions of this Act relating to prohibited hours, for a further period of up to two hours beyond the expiry of the special exemption order.".".
