You could also call this:

"How to appeal a decision about alcohol licensing to the High Court"

If you want to appeal a decision under section 159, you must tell the High Court within 10 working days of being told about the decision. You do this by giving the High Court notice of your appeal. The High Court will then follow its usual rules to deal with your appeal.

When you appeal, you must also give a copy of your notice of appeal to the secretary of the licensing authority. This can be done before or after you file your notice of appeal with the High Court. The secretary will then send all the relevant documents to the High Court.

The secretary must send the High Court all the papers related to your case, including your application and any evidence given at a hearing. They must also send a copy of the decision you are appealing against. You can find more information about this process in sections 152 and 153, and sections 161 to 166, of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, which you can read by following the links to section 159, sections 152 and 153, and 161 to 166.
