Synopsis

From the Introduction to the Licence Review Handbook: The aim of this handbook is to offer practical help so that residents and affected members of your community can take effective action against problems that are being caused by licensed premises. Whatever your position, this Handbook will help you. It is not a dry, fusty legal textbook; it is a practical “hands on” Handbook that you can turn to every step of the way for help and guidance. Reviews of advance copies of the Licence Review Handbook: "This is a manual for residents and objectors and if your organisation has been involved in the past, you will appreciate that residents are somewhat at a disadvantage when faced with the professionals and their clients. This book will even up the playing field. Does what it says on the tin." (Secretary, National Organisation of Residents' Associations, www.nora-uk.co.uk, January 2019) “Really helpful – sets out what to do, how to do it and how to maximise your chances of success. I wish we’d had your book a few years ago when we were fighting to close three local nightclubs – it would have been very helpful!” (Mr DL, from a residents’ association in Essex, January 2019) Nigel Booth is a barrister and has been working in criminal law for more than 20 years. In 2016 some local residents approached him to ask for help with a premises licence review that they were preparing. Criminal law is a good background because guarding against crime, disorder and nuisance is a big part of licensing. Knowing about principles of fairness and fair procedures, and never being afraid to demand them was essential when it came to ensuring that the residents got a fair deal at the licence review hearing. Have you done your research online? Have you noticed a definite imbalance in the sort of help that is out there? Whilst there is plenty of help for the licensed trade, there’s not so much aimed at residents and objectors. You have maybe found some general information on the websites of various local councils from around the country - but you probably haven’t found much that offers you practical help about how to go about preparing your review application in the best way that brings you the best chance of succeeding. Until now. This Handbook goes some considerable way to rebalancing the odds. All the experience and everything that Nigel Booth's residents’ group learned, together with twenty-odd years’ worth of lawyering have gone into this Handbook. Get a headstart!
