Must an retailers off-licence certificate be prominently displayed in the premises?

Seb83

I heard that a liquor licence must be prominently displayed in the respective premises. I was wondering if this is true and whether this also applies to retailers off-licence certificates.

Thanks

Apologies, I should've read the forum charter properly: no legal advice.

Feel free to remove this post.

Can't answer your original question but I can't see how asking a 'yes or no' question constitutes seeking legal advice.

You're imposing an unduly severe restriction on yourself, most posts in this forum would probably fail if the same test was applied.

There are lots of regular contributors to this forum who prefix almost all of their replies with 'not legal advice but ....' And then proceed to provide legal advice, often well beyond the scope of the original query.

It's been a long time since I studied the Intoxicating Liquor Acts or the Licencing Acts and associated regulations, but if I remember correctly only restaurant/special restaurant licences are required to be displayed.

I've seen plenty of publicans' licences on display. Which suggests to me that it's mandatory for an on-licence.

I have usually seen licences displayed behind the tills in a supermarket. I know Lidl do.

This would/might only fall foul of the "legal advice" rule, if you owned/operating an off licence.
