Regulation 13 Lost or defaced licences
If the holder of a licence—
satisfies the licensing authority that—
the licence has been lost or defaced; and
the holder is entitled to continue to hold the licence; and
pays the fee prescribed by regulation 7,
the licensing authority shall issue to him a duplicate licence and shall endorse thereon any particulars endorsed upon the original licence and the duplicate so issued shall have the same effect as the original.
If at any time while a duplicate licence is in force the original licence is found, the person to whom the original licence was issued, if it is in his possession, shall return it to the licensing authority, or if it is not in his possession, but he becomes aware that it is found, shall take all reasonable steps to obtain possession of it and if successful shall return it as soon as may be to the licensing authority.
