Jock1,
Now you are double posting, perhaps you should ask a child how to use a forum.

It doesnt matter what I type because your mind is already set.

So lets see and what the council will do in your case.

Bearing in mind you have already had two opportunities to get this thing sorted, you'll have opportunity number 3 on 16th March.

I wonder if the council will just suspend your license then, if you dont turn up?

You think the whole thing is a sham or kangeroo court, yet if it is, you are entitled to take it to a higher court away from the council.

Seems to me, and practically everyone else, that you are throwing your toys out of the pram.

Licensing is a species of administrative decision-making. Licensing decisions are on the whole taken by administrative bodies. Such bodies have no inherent jurisdiction – their powers are derived wholly from statute. They are charged with furthering the objectives of the legislation in the decisions that they make. They are able to formulate policies to guide them in their decision-making. They are not bound by the Civil or Criminal Procedure Rules. They work by considering the material which has been placed before them and making a decision which appears to them to be sensible and apt to advance the policy of the legislation in their local area. Their decision may involve some fact finding – Did the cabbie swear at the customer? Was the CCTV working? – but usually the outcome of the case turns on a value judgment. Parliament has not appointed professional judges to make such judgments, but has been content to leave them to experienced local individuals representative of their community.

Put that way, it would be illogical to suggest that only particular sorts of material – which in a different forum entirely would satisfy rules of evidence – can be taken into account by the decision-maker. And indeed, when one looks at the judgments of the higher courts on the issue, one finds no such stricture. In fact, one finds the opposite approach entire
ly.

And the HRA?

That would probably require a licence from East Lothian Council.

Gary might have a problem with that.

And everyone should have a human right to their own deckchair anyway.

Ah but many beaches that have deckchairs are restricted and you have to hire one to if you want to sit in that part of the beach!

The Skull is back!

Some as*ole of a contractor cut through the hard-line, and half the village lost their internet connection.

It's a pity that they have fixed it!
