Title – Shop’s alcohol victory

Here is another good example of where the 2003 Licensing Act provides a more flexible and ‘sensible’ approach to licensing. The Act allows for local representation, but also for that representation to be appeal against and for a sensible judgement and solution to be sought for both sides.
No business owner should be held liable for the wrongs of the previous owner, that as the basis for a complaint is a little absurd and no business owner should have their business compromised for being the victim of armed robbery. Equally residents should be allowed to have their concerns heard and where action is required it should be taken.
This type of case shows the licensing act working, not for one side or the other, but for sensible compromise. It allows the owner and premises licence holder to prove himself and to implement the highest standards of Responsible Alcohol Retailing both through those conditions imposed upon him and by taking measures that every alcohol retailer should be taking to meet their statutory requirements under the Act.
Understanding the Licensing Act 2003 allows business owners not only to maximise their opportunities within their businesses, but helps them to avoid, costly, time consuming and wholly avoidable actions that will force restrictions upon them. There are simple measures that can be taken by retailers to promote responsible alcohol retailing and provide themselves with a defence of due diligence; enforcing such measures can lead to retailers obtaining the support of the community rather than the community revolting against them at every turn.
We offer the portfolio of BIIAB courses including the National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (NCPLH) which covers the Licensing Act 2003 and gives candidates the knowledge to understand their place within the act, their responsibilities and their statutory rights. We also run the Award in Responsible Alcohol Retailing (ARAR) for front line staff which helps them to understand the basic responsibilities they have in the sale or supply of alcohol and provides their employer with a solid defence of due diligence.
