Review
I1198Rejection of application
1
A licensing authority may reject an application under section 197 for the review of a premises licence if they think that the grounds on which the review is sought—
a
do not raise an issue relevant to the principles to be applied in accordance with section 153,
b
are frivolous,
c
are vexatious,
d
will certainly not cause the authority to wish to take action of a kind specified in section 202(1),
e
are substantially the same as the grounds specified in an earlier application under section 197 in respect of the premises licence, or
f
are substantially the same as representations made under section 161 in relation to the application for the premises licence.
2
In determining whether to exercise the power to reject an application under section 197 in accordance with subsection (1)(e) or (f), a licensing authority shall consider the length of time that has elapsed since the making of the earlier application or since the making of the representations under section 161.
3
If a licensing authority consider that paragraphs (a) to (f) apply to some but not all of the grounds on which a review is sought, they may reject the application in so far as it relies on grounds to which those paragraphs apply.
4
In this section a reference to section 161 includes a reference to that section as applied by section 187(3).
