Hi guys

I have a applied for a licence, which has to go to committee. I am aware that in Part 1 of the Civic Gov Act licensing authorities have to 'consider' applications within 3 months, does anyone have a view on what exactly 'consider' means, and to what should happen if they dont ? My application took just over 3 months to go to committee

Cheers


Licensing authorities, Discharge of functions

c. 45 Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 PART I

LICENSING—GENERAL PROVISIONS

3.—(l) For the purpose of the discharge of their functions
under this Part of this Act, every licensing authority shall con-
sider, within 3 months of its having been made to them under
paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to this Act, each application so made
and, subject to the following provisions of this section, reach a
final decision on it within 6 months.

not important im afraid

see c.e.c vs salteri and others

although as i recall they didnt put emphasis on the 3 months but focused on the 6 months as that was the section that had been breached in that particular case

consider means more than just setting in motion a number of checks and running it through the system,it should mean that it goes before a committee for consideration ,but don't get bogged down with that part of the act,as they are not in breach of it
get in touch with Thomson and co, these plates are in the bag once it goes into court.
but you have to be there to be on it as the sheriff may just grant those that are in front of him,and not those that are not.

you may not have to do anything, but i wouldn't risk it get banded together.
or take a risk and do nothing.your choice.

Thanks for the replies Ali

I am not in Edinburgh, on the west coast, prefer not to say exactly where just now.......never know whos watching

Suffice to say its another dodgy council !

Who are Thomson and co?
