HL
Weekly Law Notes Summary
25 April 2007
A licensing authority, in refusing an application for a sex establishment licence, had been entitled to take objections and representations made after the expiry of the prescribed 28-day period into account. Where it had acted fairly and properly exercised its powers its decision was not vitiated by failure to refer specifically to the applicant’s Convention rights.
