Rights of appeal
Only the applicant has a right of appeal where a gambling premises licence application has been rejected.
Where the application has been granted, the applicant has a right of appeal if they disagree with the conditions that have been attached. Anyone who made representations in relation to the original application also has the right to appeal if they disagree with conditions.
Appeals are made through the magistrates' courts and must be made within 21 days of the relevant decision.
Where action has been taken as a result of a review of a gambling premises licence, the licensee has a right of appeal. Anyone who made representations in relation to the review, the person who applied for the review, or the Gambling Commission also has the right of appeal.
