The High Court has handed down judgement in WALK SAFE SECURITY SERVICES LTD Appellant - and - LONDON BOROUGH OF LEWISHAM
Taken from the Judgement: -
Question: Under the Licensing Act 2003 and the Licensing Act (Hearings) Regulations 2005, may licensing committees in England hold licensing hearings remotely?
Answer: Yes.
The Hertfordshire case (including LLG & ADSO) gets some further analysis. We continue to lobby for remote meetings across local government instead of the fragmented approach we now have where some meetings can be held remotely (such as school appeals and licensing) whilst others cannot.
