284: Hearing for variation, suspension, or cancellation of special licences under section 283

You could also call this:

"A hearing to change or cancel a special alcohol licence"

If you want to change or cancel a special licence, the licensing committee will hold a hearing. You can find the reasons for this in section 283(3). The committee can make changes to the licence if they think it is necessary. They can change or remove conditions, add new ones related to matters in section 147, stop the licence for a while, or cancel it. The committee has to decide what to do.

The committee can also delay making a decision to give the person with the licence time to fix any problems. They will tell the person what they need to do and how long they have to do it.

If the committee makes a decision, they will send a copy to the secretary of the licensing authority.
