A guide to liquor and taxi licensing and mock hearing
Presented by Weightmans, Browne Jacobson and Gedling Borough Council
Seminar overview
An update on recent legal developments and cases relating to alcohol and entertainments establishments to include a discussion on SEV licensing in light of the Bridgerow Ltd case and the ban on sales of cheap high strength alcohol
There will also be a general update on taxi legislation and case law; it will not be basic level – the presenters be assuming some knowledge; it will be aimed at solicitors advising on the law and dealing with consequent proceedings (whether by way of appeal or JR.)
The talks will be followed by a mock taxi licensing hearing so that we can see the theory put into practice.
Duration: Update seminar, half a day (3 CPD points) including lunch
