  1. What is the 'licensing register' and who maintains it?

    Answer: A public record of all licences and TENs maintained by the local authority

    Each local authority must maintain a public licensing register containing details of all premises licences, club premises certificates, personal licences and TENs issued in their area.

  2. Under the Licensing Act 2003, what is the permitted drink-drive awareness obligation of licensed premises?

    Answer: The Act imposes no specific drink-drive awareness duty but venues are encouraged to promote safe travel

    The Licensing Act does not create a specific drink-drive duty for venues, though good practice and licensing conditions may encourage designated driver schemes and safe travel promotion.

  3. A customer is asked to leave but claims they have a right to remain as a paying guest. What is the legal position?

    Answer: A paying customer can be required to leave and becomes a trespasser if they refuse

    The licence holder and DPS have the right to withdraw permission for any person to remain on the premises; a person who stays after being asked to leave becomes a trespasser.

  4. What is 'late-night refreshment' and does it require a licence?

    Answer: Hot food or drink sold between 11pm and 5am; it requires a licence or TEN

    Late-night refreshment — providing hot food or drink between 11pm and 5am — is a licensable activity under the Licensing Act 2003 and requires either a premises licence or TEN.

  5. What powers do police have to issue an immediate closure notice under licensing law?

    Answer: Police may close premises for up to 24 hours if there is disorder or noise nuisance, extendable by magistrates

    Police may issue a closure notice for up to 24 hours where disorder or nuisance is occurring or anticipated; a magistrate may then extend this to up to 3 months.

  6. Who must be notified when a personal licence holder changes their name or address?

    Answer: The issuing licensing authority

    Personal licence holders must notify the licensing authority that issued their licence of any change in their name or address; failure to do so is an offence.
