Paragraph 136 - Food Safety Act 1990 (c. 16)
1028.Section 43 of the Food Safety Act 1990 allows, on death of the registration holder/licensee, for the continuation of the registration or licence granted for food premises in accordance with regulations made under the Act. Currently this applies to the deceased licence or registration holder’s personal representative, widow or any other member of his family for a period of three months beginning with his death or for such longer period as the enforcement authority may allow. Paragraph 136 amends the Food Safety Act to enable surviving civil partners to benefit from the same rights accorded to personal representatives, and other members of the deceased’s family.
