He has assembled all the relevant statutory authorities on a complex and developing branch of the law....points his readers in the right direction, and gives useful practical advice as well as the important case law decisions. Well written and attractively presented, it will be of use to many", writes Neil McKittrick in a review of the first edition in the Civil justice Quarterly.Manchester: Entertainment Licensing Law and Practice is designed for all licensing practitioners, local authorities and public bodies involved in the licensing process. The text focuses on public entertainment licensing (music and dancing, sports entertainment and open air musical entertainments on private land) but it also covers the licensing of private entertainments (music and dancing), cinemas, theatres and sex establishments.The book takes account of new statutory provisions since the first edition. These include:• the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1 994, which provides increased powers in relations to raves• the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1 994 under which various deregulation orders affecting entertainment licensing have been made• the Public Entertainment Licences (Drugs Misuse) Act 1997, which provides powers for the immediate closure of premises with a serious problem relating to the supply or use of controlled drugs• the Human Rights Act 1998, which 'incorporates' into English law much of the European Convention on Human Rights and under which licensing controls will need to be consistent with Convention rightsThe book also covers new important case law, including unreported decisions to ensure that the reader is kept fully up to date with recent developments.An essential source of information for all those involved within the licensing process, this book is the only specialist work with a detailed examination and comprehensive coverage of the areas in question.Colin Manchester is Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Birmingham.
