THE BIBLE OF LICENSING LAW IN ENGLAND AND WALES: NOW IN A NEW EDITION FOR 2015

An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers

There are certain human activities, which no matter how innocently pursued, can lead to a heap of trouble, from inconvenience and annoyance to poverty, social unrest and crime. Civilized societies therefore need to impose controls; hence the necessity of licensing. And for legal practitioners and advisers in England and Wales this means the necessity of acquiring the definitive work of reference on this massive subject: Paterson’s Licensing Acts, published by LexisNexis.

The sub-titles of this new two-volume edition of Paterson’s indicate precisely the activities for which the acquisition of licensing is a legal obligation. Volume 1 covers alcohol, refreshment, taxi and street trading licensing. Volume II deals with betting, gaming and lotteries.

You might be tempted to observe that Paterson’s is a paradox. First published in 1876, it is one of the oldest legal texts available, yet though frequent, timely and erudite updating, it has remained forever young. It has consistently maintained its reputation as the ‘bible’ on licensing law in England and Wales and, for over a century, has been frequently cited in court and before magistrates and licensing committees. Note the inside front covers of both volumes which list the decisions of the senior courts citing Paterson’s Licensing Acts, from 1898 to 2013.

Not only has Paterson’s evolved as the voice of authority in licensing matters, it also shines brightly in the great galaxy of legal tomes as startlingly readable, which, in addition to its topicality, has to be one of the secrets of its enduring success.

One example of its positive reader-friendly (and in this case, pub landlord-friendly) approach is the section on selling alcohol responsibly, which contains subsections on ‘no irresponsible promotions’, including those which encourage excessive consumption via ‘speed drinking games’ or ‘all you can drink for £10 deals… or, notoriously, ‘women drink for free.’ For the more abstemious -- ‘free tap water for customers’ must be provided on request’. You have been told.





You’ll also be pleased to note that this new edition contains much new material, commentary and background on which can be found, for example, in the helpful introductory section of each volume. Recent case law is reviewed, including new and anticipated changes. As the publishers explain, the books incorporate ‘all relevant legislation, regulations, orders, standard forms and precedents’. The result is a completely up- to-date reference source.

As you would expect, Paterson’s is logically structured for ease of use, as indicated by the numbered paragraphs throughout, the detailed table of contents and the extensive index in each volume, plus of course the tables of statutes, statutory instruments and cases.

Also available as an eBook, Paterson’s comes with an accompanying easy-to-search CD-ROM, which also contains materials no longer included in the published volumes. If you are a registered purchaser, you will also receive a free updated version of the CD-ROM mid-year which will certainly keep you abreast of changes in this volatile and complex area of the law.

Whether you are a specialist in this field, or a relative newcomer, this latest edition of Paterson’s will augment your knowledge, enhance your confidence as an adviser and save you a bit of time too. Specialists in particular should regard this 2015 edition as a must-have purchase.

The publication date is cited as at 2014.
