Early Morning Alcohol Restriction Orders
The Crime and
Security Act 2010 has amended the Licensing
Act 2003 in that a licensing authority may make an order providing:
(a) premises licences and club premises
certificates granted by the authority, and temporary event notices
given to the authority, shall not have effect to the extent that
they authorise the sale of alcohol between 3am and 6am, and
(b) club premises certificates granted by the
authority shall not have effect to the extent that they authorise
the supply of alcohol by or on behalf of a club to, or to the order
of, a member of the club between 3am and 6am.
Where such an order is made it becomes
enforceable on all premises where a premises licence, club premises
certificate or temporary events notice is in force notwithstanding
that the permitted hours were granted prior to the order being
made.
Where it is intended to make such an order the
Licensing Authority will advertise the intention ito make an
order and, hold a hearing to consider any relevant representations that are made
by:
Whilst the provisons have received royal assent the
commencement date of these provisions are still not
known.
