Article 5 Transitional provisions
Each licensing authority is to give notice in accordance with this article to every person who appears to the licensing authority likely, on the transition date, to be the holder of a 2000 Order licence or an applicant for such a licence.
Notice under paragraph (1) is to advise the recipient—
of the transition date;
of the consequences in general terms of the implementation of the provisions under the 2006 Act; and
where guidance is accessible.
The requirement to give notice may be satisfied by electronic means.
Where it is practicable to do so, notice is to be given no later than one month before the transition date, and in other cases the licensing authority shall give notice as soon as is reasonably possible.
A failure by a licensing authority to give notice does not affect the application of this Order to a 2000 Order licence or an application for such a licence.
