(2)  The Board may, in its discretion, grant in respect of any premises or place more than one of the categories of licences referred to in subsection (1).
(3)  The Board shall not grant a retail liquor shop licence for premises in respect of which a beer house or samsu shop licence is in force, or a beer house licence authorising the sale of beer on premises in respect of which a samsu shop licence is in force beyond the hours provided for in the samsu shop licence.
(4)  The Board may, in its discretion, subject the grant or transfer of any licence under this section to such restrictions or conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Act, to be endorsed on the licence, as it may think fit to impose.
(5)  The Board may, in its discretion, refuse to grant or transfer any licence, and shall not be compelled to assign reasons for any decision to refuse the issue, including renewal or transfer, of a licence, and may suspend or cancel a licence at any time.
(6)  The licensee shall not be entitled to any compensation for the suspension or cancellation of his licence under subsection (5), but the Board may allow a refund of one-twelfth of the amount of the licence fee for each complete month in respect of which the licence would have remained valid had it not been suspended, cancelled or surrendered.
(7)  In case of the death, mental disorder, illness or bankruptcy of any licensee, the Board may, by endorsement on the licence, authorise any other person to exercise the rights conferred by the licence until the expiration of the term for which it was originally granted, or for any shorter period, and subject to all the conditions originally imposed by the licence and to such further conditions as the Board may think fit to impose.
(8)  The Board may, if it thinks fit, require as a condition of grant of any licence that the applicant shall enter into recognizances with sureties in the form approved by the Board.
(9)  Any person affected by such grant, transfer, refusal, suspension or cancellation shall, if he so desires, be heard by the Board either in person or by an advocate and solicitor.
