Licensing
applications have become increasingly complex with the advent of the new
licensing regime resulting from the extensive Licensing Act 2003. The radical
changes, which include licensing authorities replacing magistrates’ courts as
the grantors of licences, in conjunction with the integration and modernisation
of the various licensing systems in England and Wales, have led to an
intimidating Act of 9 parts, 8 schedules and 175 pages.
Every type of licence application is covered within this text, from the selling of liquor to the showing of films, from the provision of entertainment to a paying audience to the renewal of a club registration certificate. Issues addressed include: what are classed as licensable activities, what kind of activities are exempt from licensing laws, how should an application be made, how are applications determined and how long will a licence last? It also covers the more ambiguous aspects of licensing applications: what happens when the licence holder dies, what to do if the licence is lost, how does one approach transferring a licence and does the licensing authority have any right to impose conditions on a licence? Chapters on offences and hearings contain vital information with regard to breaches, or suspected breaches, of licensing law.
David
Chambers and Roger Butterfield have used their vast experience in licensing
training and consulting to produce this practical guide, which will be of great
use to applicants for licences (publicans, club secretaries, etc.) as well as
their professional advisers.

The purpose of this useful book is to state in a practical, concise but comprehensive form the law of allotments for the benefit of local authorities (particularly parish and community councils) and their officers, and for the secretaries and advisers of local allotments societies and associations.
The law rests for its basis on contract - no-one can be compelled to take an allotments tenancy. Within that law of contract, allotments law is a specialised branch of the law of landlord and tenant, and a branch which is the product of statute.
The book has now been brought fully up to date by local government expert Paul Clayden, with references to the latest cases and recent policy developments.

First published half a century ago, this important text serves as a handbook, history and best practice guide for mayors, councillors and officers, and is therefore a practical and relevant source of advice to those who have responsibility for, or an interest in, all matters of civic ceremonial. It has now been updated to a fifth edition, to allow for the many recent changes affecting the civic sector.
The Local Government Act 2000, the advent of elected mayors and the creation of the National Association of Civic Officers have contributed significantly to the swift pace of change in the working lives of local authorities and civic offices. This much-extended edition explains these important developments, and also examines the practice of performance monitoring and advises on how offices can survive scrutiny. Major new sections have been introduced for this edition, including civic protocol and etiquette involving national flags; references to, and explorations of, important relevant websites; and a significant chapter entitled “A 21st Century Civic Office” which is concerned with the modernisation of municipal practice.
The more traditional aspects of civic ceremonial continue to be covered in detail. Such topics include history, the legal position of the Mayor, training and preparation of councillors for becoming Mayor, the Civic Office and civic officers, finance and allowances, relationships with the media, Royal visits, a code of conduct for mayors, twinning, insignia and regalia, and civic ceremonial events.

insanity and allied defences, community orders combining treatment and

This text reflects the need of criminal justice practitioners
who advise sentencers and offenders to have ready access to the law of
sentencing and, in particular, to the approach of the Court of Appeal in
weighing an offender's culpability in the light of aggravating and mitigating
features of the crime in question.
The first of two books on sentencing law, principles and
practice, Specific Offences details all the common offences likely to be
encountered by pre-sentence report writers, from arson to unlawful sexual
intercourse, identifying the statutory powers of punishment, the guideline
judgments, illustrations of recent judicial approaches to offence analysis,
relevant Magistrates' Association guidance, etc. The reader is guided in
assessing the seriousness in any particular case, together with the factors
contributing to the type and length of sentence.
A special chapter explains the kind of factors that can count
as personal mitigation.

Intended to provide a richer context for the issues posed in
Part One, this book provides a comprehensive but accessible account of the
generic provisions governing sentencing, both as a question of principle and as
a procedural challenge. Particular attention is paid to recent Court of Appeal
interpretations and guidance. It goes on to detail the legislation and case law
relating to each specific kind of sentence, order and ancillary measure, from
automatic life imprisonment for a second serious offence to banning orders for
football offenders. Intermediate measures such as deferment of sentence and
committal for sentence are fully explored, as are the consequences of breach of
conditional discharge or suspended sentence.
Although written with probation and youth justice workers
primarily in mind, it is likely to be valuable to other criminal justice
practitioners seeking a convenient reference book.
