The Licensing and Elections Manager reported that due to new case law, suspension of a licence shouldn’t be given as an interim measure and the more appropriate method may be to revoke a licence in the interest of public safety under S61 of the Act.  Under the current Constitution officers do not have the delegated powers to revoke.

 

David Lowens, solicitor advised that a report would be required to go forward to the Committee to agree delegations, but that temporary delegation could be agreed until the next meeting of the Licensing Committee.

 

 

RESOLVED :

 

That temporary delegation be given to the Director of Customer Services and the Licensing and Elections Manager to exercise any power of the Committee under Section 61 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976.
