The premises consisted of a ground floor and basement. A music and dancing licence was in effect for part of the premises, but the appellant challenged the grant of a special hours certificate, based upon that licence, for the entire premises.
Held: The special hours certificate should have been only for the part for which there existed the licence. The certificate was granted for premises ‘for which a music and dancing licence is in force’ The certificate was there only to support the licence. It was true that other means existed of supervising such premises, but that did not affect this issue. The concluding words of the section required the certificate to be restricted in this way.
