206: Right of persons to appear in relation to certain applications for variation, suspension, and cancellation

You could also call this:

"Who can speak at a meeting about changing or cancelling an alcohol licence"

When someone applies to change, stop, or cancel a licence under sections like section 280, section 281, section 283, section 285, or section 286, you need to know who can speak at the meeting. You can appear and speak if you are the person who made the application or the person the application is about. You can also bring witnesses to support your case and ask them questions.

Some other people can speak at the meeting if they get permission from the person in charge. These people include inspectors, constables, and Medical Officers of Health. They can bring evidence to support what they say.
