2.            Grounds for Review

 

The application for an expedited premises licence review had been served under section 53A of the Licensing Act 2003. This application had been prompted by an incident which had occurred at the premises in the early hours of 2nd May 2016 during which a number of male patrons had been ejected from the premises by door supervisors. One patron had been rendered unconscious during the ejection process.

 

In accordance with S.53A(3)(c ) of the Act required the Licensing Authority to advertise the review, inviting representations to be made by responsible authorities or interested parties. An appropriately worded public notice advertising this application had been placed at the premises, at Havering Town Hall and on Havering’s website on 11th May 2016.

 

3.            Requirements upon the Licensing Authority

 

This application had been made under the provisions of s.53A of the Act.  As such, s.53A(2)(a) required that within 48 hours of the receipt of the application the licensing authority considered whether it was necessary to take interim steps pending the determination of the review application.  An interim hearing had been held within the 48 hour time frame and had taken place on the morning of 12 May 2016. The Licensing Sub-Committee having sought legal advice had taken the decision to exercise its discretion with regard to the provisions of s.53B (2) and to not give the premises licence holder an opportunity to make representations to the licensing authority at that stage.

 

Having considered the Police representation the Licensing Sub-Committee had decided to suspend the licence with effect from midday 12 May 2016 pending the full review hearing. The decision notice had been provided to the premises licence holder on 12 May.

 

The Premises Licence Holder had made representation to the Licensing Authority against this interim decision on 12 May 2016 and in accordance with s.53B(6) a hearing had been arranged within 48 hours, for the 16 May 2016.  The hearing had been to enable the Premises Licence Holder to make representation against the interim  ...  view the full decision text for item 1.
