The Licensing Law Handbook is a clear and concise guide to the reformed system of licensing. It safely guides practitioners through all aspects of the new and revised procedures including how to apply for authorisation, the forms to use, operating schedules, how to object to an application, offences, closure powers and appeals.

The new edition has been extensively updated and revised to include:

• the new regime for pavement licences
• changes to the late night levy
• amendments introduced by the Immigration Act 2016
• the latest section 182 Guidance
• the Alcohol Wholesaler Registration Scheme
• off-sales review appeals
• new case law, including The Porky Pint Ltd v. Stockton on Tees BC [2023] EWHC 128 (Admin)
• closure of premises associated with nuisance or disorder
• summary reviews in serious cases of crime or disorder
• minimum pricing for alcohol in Wales
• use of remote hearings for applications.

With its uniquely practical approach, the Licensing Law Handbook will remain every practitioner's first point of reference for licensing law matters.
