Coventry City Council (26 008 773)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Licensing 05-Jul-2026
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision on a licensing matter X disagrees with. This is because X could have appealed this decision to the Magistrates Court. Only the court could make a new decision, and we could not say the Council’s decision was right or wrong. It was reasonable for X to have used their appeal right. Additionally, there is not enough evidence of fault in how the Council notified X of its decision to revoke their licence.
