(This note does not form part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005 (S.I.2005/44) (the principal Regulation) to correct an omission from the principal Regulations concerning the provision of a timescale within which a licensing authority must give notice of a hearing to specified persons.
These Regulations add a new regulation 6(4) to the principal Regulations requiring a licensing authority to give the notice of a hearing in cases other than those specified in regulations 6(2) and 6(3) of the principal Regulations within ten working days before the day, or the first day, of the hearing (regulation 2).
