The Licensing Act 2003

The first 18 months of the new regime has been hailed as a success. Was this your experience?

The new licensing regime has been in force for over 18 months and we now have experience of operating under the new regime.

From this, a number of practical issues have been some High Court and Magistrates Court decisions which provide assistance in interpretation and application of the new Act.

To bring you up to date on the latest developments we can design a training session around your requirements, focussing on areas that are most relevant to you.

Tailored training can be provided to new members as well as a refresher and update to existing members and officers.

The Gambling Act 2005

The Act represents a root and branch reform of the law relating to betting and gaming and will bring about a fundamental change in the way in which those areas are regulated.

Licensing authorities can receive applications from 21st May 2007. The Act will introduce a three tier system of personal, premises and operating licenses.

Operating licenses and personal licenses will be administered by the Gambling Commission while premises licenses will be dealt with by local authorities.

Local authorities will have responsibility for issuing permits for a range of activities and registration of lotteries.

The same licensing authority with responsibility for administering the Licensing Act 2003 will also deal with the Gambling Act 2005. All licensing authorities are required to publish a statement of principles to be applied in exercising their functions under the Gambling Act 2005.

As you know…

Training for officers and members is seen as an essential requirement for successful implementation of the Gambling Act 2005 on 1st September 2007.
