Reviews of the First Edition

'Written by the country's only professor of licensing law and the principals of the 'UK's foremost
niche licensing practice' this eagerly awaited volume, published in May, lives up to the reputation of
its authors... The volume's 788 pages (with 556 pages of text) provide a first-rate working guide
through the mysteries and detail of the new law... There is much useful background material, such as extracts from parliamentary debates, which aid both understanding and interpretation of the new
provisions.' - Professor Roy Light, Solicitors Journal

'This book is a comprehensive work, dealing with every aspect of the new scheme and exploring in
considerable detail each aspect of the new law, such as the licensing objectives, the scope of
licensable activities through to the various types of licence. It includes sections on the impact of
Human Rights Act 1998, appeals and enforcement, and there is a very important chapter on the
impact of the statutory guidance on day-to-day decisions of the licensing authorities... This book
could well become a definitive work on the new system, possibly supplanting some more established - and more costly - works.' - Julian Peskett, New Law Journal
