Application for an Interim Authority Notice
The Licensing Act 2003 has special arrangements in place for Premises Licence if the holder:
- dies suddenly
- becomes insolvent
- is mentally incapable
Normally, the licence would lapse in such circumstances. However, this could affect people with interests in the premises, such as:
- an owner
- lessor
- employees working at the premises
It could also bring unnecessary disruption to customers' plans.
In such cases, you can give us an Interim Authority Notice. An Interim Authority Notice:
- reinstates the Premises licence
- makes the person giving the notice the licence holder
You must submit the Interim Authority Notice within 28 days, from the day after the licence lapsed.
