Revised Guidance Issued Under Section 182 Of The Licensing Act 2003 PDF Download

This document sets out the amended guidance issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 (ISBN 9780105417033), originally published 17.07.2003. The 2003 Act is amended by the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, ISBN 9780105413110, (issued 27.09.2011). It revises the 2003 Act, providing greater flexibility for local communities and licensing authorities to shape and determine local licensing. It also provides for local authorities and the police to have much stronger powers in removing and granting licences to any premises which are causing problems and giving the option to shut down permanently any shop or bar found to be persistently selling alcohol to children and to double the maximum fine to £20,000. The publication is divided into 15 chapters.
