94 Existing on-premises trading hours
(1) A reference in this clause to on-premises trading hours is a reference to the times during which liquor may be sold or supplied only for consumption on the premises concerned.
(2) Clubs with existing unrestricted on-premises trading hours An existing registered club that, immediately before the relevant date, was not subject to restrictions under this Act in relation to its on-premises trading hours may, subject to this clause, continue to trade on that basis until such time as action (if any) is taken under the Liquor Act 2007 to vary those on-premises trading hours.
(2A) If an extended trading authorisation of the kind referred to in section 49 (5) (c) of the Liquor Act 2007 is granted in respect of the premises of an existing registered club, subclause (2) ceases to apply in relation to those premises during the period that the authorisation is in force.
(2B) If, in the case of an existing registered club referred to in subclause (2)—
(a) a condition is imposed under section 54 of the Liquor Act 2007 to reduce the on-premises trading hours of the club’s premises, and
(b) the condition is subsequently revoked under that Act,
the on-premises trading hours of the club’s premises automatically revert to those that previously applied under subclause (2).
(3), (4) (Repealed)
(5) Clubs with existing restricted on-premises trading hours If, immediately before the relevant date, an existing registered club was subject to restrictions imposed under this Act in relation to its on-premises trading hours, those restrictions continue to apply until such time as the Authority, on application by the registered club, varies the club’s on-premises trading hours under the Liquor Act 2007.
