Me and my friends are currently mildly miffed with the local council about the meaning of "working days" (with specific regards to alcohol licencing): if an application is submitted during the weekend for an event a fortnight later, and there's no bank holidays in between, has it been submitted ten working days in advance?
The council says no; the application is deemed to have been submitted on the Monday and hence there aren't ten clear working days. We obviously want the answer to be yes, and have some circumstantial evidence in the form of http://moderngov.cheshireeast.gov.uk/ecminutes/Published/C00000242/M00002542/AI00007234/$07ClearWorkingDaysreport.docA.ps.pdf [not the council in question] I've got a funny feeling this has come up before in reference to WhatDoTheyKnow and perhaps other sites, hence why I'm asking here: can anyone shine any light on this? All responses will be assumed to have "I am not a lawyer, but..." prepended. :P Dave. PS: The simple solution is to put the application in earlier. Didn't happen last year, didn't happen this year, probably won't happen next year... :P _______________________________________________ developers-public mailing list [email protected] https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public Unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/options/developers-public/archive%40mail-archive.com
