Under the Licensing Act 2003 licensing laws have changed dramatically. Since 24 November 2005, Justices' licences are no more.

From February 2004, existing licence holders have had to apply for personal and premises Licences. These licences are required for not only premises selling liquor but also, premises where hot food or hot drinks are sold after 11pm.
