COMMENTARY ON SECTIONS General Section 82 – Notification of change of name or alteration of rules of club
145.Under this section, the secretary of a club must notify the relevant licensing authority of any change in the club’s name or its rules. Notification of such a change must be accompanied by the certificate (unless that is impracticable and then a statement of the reasons as to why that is the case must be provided) and any fee that may have been prescribed. The licensing authority must amend the club premises certificate to record any such change, but a certificate may not be amended under this section so as to change the premises to which it relates. Failure to notify the authority of such a change within 28 days is an offence.
