(1) If while a licensing scheme is in operation a dispute arises between the licensing body and—
(a) a person claiming that he or she requires a licence in a case of a description to which the scheme applies; or
(b) an organisation claiming to be representative of such persons,
that person or organisation may refer the scheme to the High Court in so far as it relates to cases of that description.
(2) A scheme which has been referred to the Court under this section shall remain in operation until proceedings on the reference are concluded.
(3) The Court shall consider the matter in dispute and make such order, either confirming or varying the scheme so far as it relates to cases of the description to which the reference relates, as the Court may determine to be reasonable in the circumstances.
(4) The order may be made so as to be in force indefinitely or for such period as the Court may determine.
