    so to do to issue a license under these regulations or by the revocation
    of a license under the last preceding clause may appeal to the Resident
    Commissioner.

(2) Notice of any appeal shall be in writing, and shall be delivered
to the Resident Commissioner, or in any island other than Rarotonga
to the Resident Agent, within seven days from the giving of the decision
appealed against. Any written notice which shows an intention or
desire to appeal shall be sufficient.

(3) If no such notice of appeal is given within the time specified,
the decision shall be deemed to be final and conclusive.

  2. Upon any revocation pursuant to these regulations, the person
    holding the license affected shall forthwith, whenever required by notice
    in writing so to do, produce such license to the Court or to the Director
    or the Resident Agent, as the case may be, for the purpose of being
    surrendered or of having a memorandum of revocation as regards any
    person written thereon, as the case may require.

  3. Every principal buyer of fruit intended for export otherwise
    than as provided for in subclause (2) of clause 3 of these regulations shall

    be obtainable under the following conditions:—

(a) Application for such license shall be made in writing to the
Director or to the Resident Agent of any island.

(b) Every such license shall apply to all islands of the Cook
Group (subject, however, to the provisions of subclause (4) of
clause 1 hereof).

(c) There shall be payable in respect of every such license a fee of
£1.

(d) No such license shall be transferable.

(e) Such license shall be in the form numbered 1 in the Schedule
hereto, or to the effect thereof.

  1. Every holder of a principal buyer's license shall be entitled
    to employ a person or persons to buy fruit on his behalf in accordance
    with the following provisions:—

(a) Such holder of a principal buyer's license shall apply to the
Director or the Resident Agent of any island for a license
to employ any person, including his branch manager or other
servant, to buy fruit on his behalf.

(b) Save as hereinafter provided, separate licenses shall be necessary
in each island.

(c) There shall be payable in respect of each buyer named in such
license a fee of £2, but a license may be issued available for
all islands of the Group upon payment of a fee of £3 in respect
of each buyer named in such license.

(d) With the approval of the Director or a Resident Agent, the
name of another buyer may, by endorsement on the
license, and without payment of any additional fee, be sub-
stituted for that of any buyer already named in the license.

(e) A license issued under the provisions of this clause shall be the
property of the principal buyer.

(f) If a principal buyer's license be revoked under any of the
foregoing provisions of these regulations, all licenses issued
to such principal buyer under this clause shall be deemed
to be likewise revoked, and shall forthwith be void and
of no effect, and shall be produced for surrender under
clause 9 hereof.
