Right of appeal

An applicant whose application has been refused may appeal to the Magistrates where the grounds for refusal are mandatory (see note 3) or where an applicant has a criminal record or where the manager (i.e. not the licensee) would have been refused a licence had he or she applied in their own right.

The appeal must be lodged within 21 days of notification of refusal.  Applicants who have been refused a licence for other (discretionary) reasons should appeal to the High Court.
