                An application for the issue of a permit —

            (a)         in the case of a function permit, may be made to the Commission and, if the Commission agrees, informally, but otherwise in the prescribed manner save that an application for a function permit may, instead of being made to the Commission, be made to a magistrate who may on behalf of the Commission issue the function permit where —

                  (i)         the applicant is a person entered in the register as eligible to hold a permit of that kind; and

                  (ii)         the premises on which the permitted gaming is to occur are premises entered in the register as approved for gaming of that kind or are the subject of an application to that magistrate under section 55(1)(a)(ii); and

                  (iii)         any conditions applicable are not contravened or likely to be contravened,

                and the magistrate shall cause the Commission to be notified accordingly; but

            (b)         in the case of a permit of a continuing nature, shall be made to the Commission in writing in the prescribed manner,

                and any such application shall, unless the Commission or magistrate dispenses with the requirement, contain or be accompanied by such information as is prescribed and be supported by such further information as the Commission or magistrate may require.
