"This volume is a must...Recommended reading for the dedicated licensing practitioner!" Solicitors Journal

"This book...provoke[s] a very important discussion on the nature of licensing in practice, looked at from many facets...It should certainly be read by officers and members of local authorities" Licensing Review

Licensed Premises: Law, Practice and Policy, Second Edition is a highly practical guide to the licensed industry. It clearly explains, through the use of case studies, practical tools and strategic policy advice, how the licensing regime, allied to other statutory and voluntary schemes, can be used to develop a more sustainable, diverse leisure economy.

Untangling the web of licensing law
The new edition is supported by copious charts and tables to simplify explanations and argues for a strategic approach to licensing, explaining how it is part of a much larger web of control of the night time economy.
Each interlocking contribution is written by an expert in their field. These include those in the areas of planning, noise, policing, door supervision, health and safety and local government strategies – all to ensure that every reader can gain an understanding of how the whole system works, as well as each individual part.

Fully updated to include Hemming, Levy and EMROs
Timed to coincide with the new fees, regime, the outcome of the crucial Hemming case as well as Levy and EMROs, this new edition addresses such questions as ‘Are enforcement costs recoverable from licensees?’, ‘What are the effects of the Services Directive on licensing?’ and “May objections be made to EMROs on socio-economic grounds?” It also includes coverage of: Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011; Localism Act 2011 and Policing and Crime Act 2009.

The second edition also contains and covers:
• Strategic and policy advice for those working in the licensing field
• Allied regimes such as sex and gambling licensing and the interaction with the Licensing Act 2003
• Parallel regimes such as planning, noise control and health and safety, and the interaction with the Licensing Act 2003
• Voluntary schemes such as Best Bar None, Purple Flag, BIDS, Pubwatch, and their interaction with the Licensing Act 2003
• Questions and answers on commonly raised issues
• A brand new chapter on regulatory partnerships written by model licensing authority, the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham

Reviews

Reviews of Licensed Premises: Law and Practice, First Edition

‘As well as a clear exposition of the framework of the new law, the reader is treated to much material by expert authors on matters that will have both practical and policy reverberations for the new regime. There are, for example, chapters on policy issues, prevention of disorder, policing, noise, door supervision and some international perspectives…Recommended reading for the dedicated licensing practitioner!’

Solicitors Journal

‘Kolvin has proved to be one of the best received works on the new law and is without peer in terms of the “extra-legal” sections, on matters such as noise, public order and so on. It has proved especially useful for assistance in framing operating schedules and conditions and for dealing with contentious evidence on promotion of the licensing objectives. For those requiring an encyclopaedia of alcohol and entertainment licensing, this volume is a must.’

Solicitors Journal

‘The book looks to draw lessons from similar domestic regimes and analogous international experience; it juxtaposes serious academic research papers with more purely descriptive chapters; theories of control of the night time economy are expounded; detailed case analysis is provided; and propositions for best practice under the new regime are suggested…The book explains the new legislation in extremely helpful and accessible detail…Mr Kolvin has attracted a large number of distinguished practitioners, academics and other individuals with substantial practical experience to contribute to or write parts of the book…This book is a sizeable achievement.’

New Law Journal

‘Thirty-three chapters and thirteen appendices provide a comprehensive view of the law, but not only the legislative framework, but also considerable material aimed at placing the law in a social and political context…It is a joy to read, offering as it does considered arguments on all the key points. Its assistance to the busy practitioner cannot be over-estimated…Its place as the pre-eminent volume on the law at this point in time is assured, and it will be highly valuable to all who come into contact with this new regime…In terms of the material that is contained within this book, it is comprehensive, illuminating and on many occasions thought provoking.’

Public Health Law

‘What this book does is to provoke a very important discussion on the nature of licensing in practice, looked at from many facets. It is the first volume to have done this for some considerable time and certainly the most wide-ranging and as such will be of considerable value to those involved in the new licensing system. It should certainly be read by officers and members of local authorities as they strive to grapple with the minutiae of the new regime. It will help them to understand the wider picture.’
