This was an application for a summary expedited review of the
premises licence for Fine Foods, 78
Colindale Avenue, London, NW9 5ES. The application for the
review of the premises licence under
section 53A of the Licensing Act 2003 was made by the Metropolitan
Police due to the premises being associated with an alleged serious
crime. In particular, the necessity for an expedited review was as
a result of a an alleged serious crime
that took place on the evening of Thursday 29th
September 2016 at 23:10 hours.
Under section 53A of the Licensing Act 2003,
the licensing authority must within 48 hours of receipt of the
senior officer’s application, consider whether it is
necessary to take interim steps pending determination of a review
of the premises licence. A full review of the premises licence must be held within 28 days of receipt of
the application. An interim hearing was
held at Hendon Town Hall on Wednesday 5th October 2016
at 13.00pm in order for a licensing sub-committee to determine what
interim steps should be taken to prevent serious crime recurring at
the premises. The Sub-Committee’s view was that
immediate measures were necessary to prevent serious crime
recurring as well as to promote the licensing objectives of the
prevention of crime and disorder. The Sub-Committee agreed
that in the circumstances, the only measure that would promote the
licensing objective of the prevention of crime and disorder and in
addition serious crime and serious disorder from recurring at the
premises was the immediate suspension of the premises licence. The suspension would take immediate
effect pending the determination of any review.
The premises licence holder may make representations against the
interim steps taken by the licensing authority. Such representations should be communicated to the
licensing team. On receipt of such
representations, the licensing authority must hold a hearing within
48 hours of receipt.
The licensing authority must hold a review
of the premises licence within 28 days
after the date of receipt of the chief officer’s
decision.
Right of Appeal

magistrates court against the licensing
authority’s decision at this stage.
