Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose:

Content: The Sub-Committee decided that it was appropriate to issue an informal warning, coupled with this very firm expression of the Licensing Authority’s expectations. Mr Gurung should not underestimate the exceptional course the Sub-Committee has been persuaded to take in this case. Furthermore, he should be in no doubt that in the event of any repetition of the types of problems encountered in this case, there would almost inevitably be a further application for review. He may expect the running of the premises to be subject to very close scrutiny from the Police and the Licensing Authority. Any continuation or repetition of these problems would be viewed extremely seriously.
