Liquor, Gaming and Civic Licensing

For businesses which require licences to carry on their trading activities, the Scottish licensing system can be complicated and frustrating particularly in the run up to 31st August 2009 whilst the Scottish Liquor licensing system is in transition to new licensing law {The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005}. The application process is bureaucratic and lengthy, while incorrect or late applications may result in refusals, restrictions, or even cessation of trading.
