Commentary on Sections Section 29: Byelaws
Section 29 provides an exemption for certain pavement cafés from the restrictions on drinking in areas designated by district councils. The exemption applies if the pavement café area is associated with a pub, hotel, restaurant, guesthouse (in which the business of a restaurant is carried on), or a refreshment room in public transport premises, licensed under the Licensing (NI) Order 1996, and does not have a licence condition prohibiting consumption of alcohol.
