LONDON BOROUGH OF HAVERING LICENSING SUB-COMMITTEE

EXCLUSION OF PRESS AND PUBLIC

Decision

The Licensing Sub-Committee made the decision to exclude the public from the hearing.

Reasons

The licensing Sub-Committee had regard to s.14 of the Licensing Act 2003 and also noted the Access to Information Procedure Rules in Part 4 of the London Borough of Havering Constitution regarding exempt information.

In particular, the Sub-Committee was mindful of the possibility of further legal action regarding the incident at the premises on the 3^rd July 2018.

The Sub-Committee was concerned that there should be no prejudice of any future legal action and therefore, in accordance with s.14(2) of the Licensing Act 2003, the Sub-Committee decided to exclude the public including the press from the hearing as it considered that the public interest in so doing outweighed the public interest in the hearing taking place in public.

FULL REVIEW DECISION

Revocation of the Premises Licence.
