Regina v Liverpool City Council ex parte Barry: CA 21 Mar 2001

The council set up a scheme requiring door security workers to be licensed, as a condition of the grant of entertainment licences. The applicant so worked but was not aware of the scheme. He challenged the introduction of the scheme. It was asserted that there existed no power to attach such conditions to licenses. The ability to charge a fee required statutory authority. There was none, but the remaining parts of the scheme were lawful in pursuing the intention of the Act.
