Licensing Act 2003

Section 28 – Surrender of premises licence

75.This section provides that a licence holder may voluntarily surrender a premises licence by returning it to the licensing authority accompanied by a notice of surrender. If it is impractical to return the licence (e.g. where it has been lost), a statement to that effect must be sent with the notice of surrender. A premises licence ceases to have effect when the authority receives the notice of surrender. Subsection (4) makes reference to the fact that, in certain circumstances, surrendered licences can be reinstated (see section 50).
