Local Authority Licensing and Appeals Committees

This is a practical guide aimed at the Chairmen, members and officers serving on and administering a council's quasi-judicial committees. The committees to which this is relevant are Licensing Committees, Employment Appeals Committees, Service Conditions Appeals Committees, Housing Appeals Committees, Benefits Review Boards, and Tree Preservation Order Appeals Committees. The book covers the workings and jurisdiction of these committees and gives guidance as to recommended procedure that will ensure that each committee's responsibilities are carried out fairly and correctly. It is written in a clear style that avoids undue legal references to make it accessible for all officers who are involved with these functions of local government.
