COMMENTARY ON SECTIONS General Section 41 – Request to be removed as designated premises supervisor
92.A person who wishes to cease acting as designated premises supervisor may give notice under this section. If this person is also the premises licence holder, his notice must be accompanied by the premises licence (unless that is impracticable when he must give a statement of reason as to why this is the case). If he is not the premises licence holder, he must provide the licence holder with a copy of the notice and notify the licence holder that he must send the premises licence to the relevant authority. Failure by the licence holder to submit the licence will be an offence. An effect of this section is that whenever a person stops acting as a designated premises supervisor, the licensing authority will be informed of it and can make the appropriate change in the licensing register. By virtue of subsections (7) and (8) the designated premises supervisor will cease to be such either at the time the licensing authority receives an application or the time specified in the notice if that is later.
