COMMENTARY ON SECTIONS General Section 13 - Authorised persons, interested parties and responsible authorities
53.This section defines the terms ‘authorised persons’, ‘interested parties’ and ‘responsible authorities’. The significance of designation as an ‘authorised person’ is that it confers a role in the inspection of premises in connection with their use for licensable activities (see in particular sections 57 and 59). An interested party or responsible authority may make representations to a licensing authority in relation to the application for the grant, variation or review of a premises licence.
