(1) The summary jurisdiction court in the district in which a club is situate may, on complaint in writing by any person, make an order directing a registered club to be struck off the register on all or any of the grounds set out in section 6 of this Act upon which objection may be made to the grant or renewal of a certificate. (2) For the purpose of determining whether a club is conducted in good faith as a club, the court shall have regard to the nature of the premises occupied by the club. 21 (3) Where the court makes an order striking a club off the register it may, if it thinks fit, by that order further direct that the premises occupied by the club shall not be used for the purposes of any club which requires to be registered under this Act for a specified period, which may extend, in case of a first order, to twelve months, or, in case of a second or subsequent order, to five years, Provided that any such direction may, for good cause shown, be subsequently cancelled or varied by the court. (4) Where a conviction has taken place under the provisions of sections 22 and 27 of this Act, the registrar shall forthwith make an entry of the conviction in the register of clubs and lay it before the court, and the court, if it thinks fit and after any further inquiry it thinks necessary having regard to the magnitude of the offence, may cancel the certificate of the club for the period for which it still has to run, but the club may apply for the renewal of the certificate at the date at which it might have done so if the certificate had not been cancelled. (5) The court may, when making an order striking a club off the register, specify therein for the purposes of section 25 of this Act all or any of the grounds mentioned in that section which appears to it to have been proved.
