Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012

Licensing trusts, community trusts, and other matters - Licensing trusts - Establishment of licensing trusts

303: Existing licensing trusts continue in existence

You could also call this:

"Older alcohol licensing trusts keep working as usual under the new law."

If you are looking at licensing trusts that already existed when the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 started, this section applies to them. These trusts were set up under the Sale of Liquor Act 1989. You can find the names of these existing licensing trusts in Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 1.

These existing licensing trusts keep operating as if they were set up under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. When it is time to elect new members for an existing licensing trust, the election must happen on the same day as the next triennial general election for territorial authorities, which is run under the Local Electoral Act 2001.
