Westminster City Council v Mendoza: CA 22 Mar 2001

When a local authority served notice on the operator of a licensed sex establishment, of its intention to apply for a closure notice, but there were other occupiers of the premises, it was not necessary to serve notice on each of them, provided that the application came to their attention in such a way as to allow them to attend the hearing at the magistrates court. The two stage notice had implications for the licensed operator which were not required for the other occupiers.
