The objections made in respect of applications for Justices On-licences
were, with one exception, in respect of premises where objections were
initially raised to the grant of a Club Registration Certificate. The
exception was in regard to a club premises, where a Justices On-licence
was provisionally granted.
The above-mentioned Act, with effect from the 1st November, 1961,
also applied the procedure for obtaining Justices On-licences in respect
of restaurants, private hotels and guest houses, etc., where intoxicating
liquor is to be sold, and provided that one of the grounds for the refusal
of a Justices Licence should be that the premises are not suitable and
convenient for the proposed use having regard to their character and
condition.
