3 4. Legal and Human Rights implications 4.1 Licensing Authorities as defined by the Gambling Act 2005 Section 1 (a), are public authorities for the purposes of the Human Rights Act Accordingly, they are under a duty to act compatibly with convention rights in the exercise of their functions. 4.2 Article 6(1) of the Convention provides that everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial hearing established by law. 4.3 The right to apply for a licence falls within the scope of civil rights and obligations in Article 6 (1) because it relates to the applicants right to make a living and pursue commercial activity. Therefore, an applicant for such a licence has the right to have the application determined fairly in accordance with the guarantees contained within Article 6(1). Thus a licence is considered to be a possession for the purposes of the Human Rights Act However, the right to hold a such licence is not absolute. It is a qualified right. So, where the grant of a licence may affect the interests of local residents or others, in a significant way, then article 6 (1) will be engaged. The right to hold a licence may be lawfully interfered with where, for instance, if it is in the interests of wider society to do so. 4.4 Objectors rights under article 6(1) will not automatically be triggered merely because they wish to object. The question of whether they have a sufficient interest to engage is ultimately a question of fact. The grant or refusal of a licence may also raise issues under article 8, right to private and family life, article 10, freedom of expression, or article 1 of Protocol 1, right to peaceful enjoyment of possession. The rights guaranteed by articles 8-11 of the Convention, are not absolute rights. In the same way as the right to a licence is a qualified right, so are these other rights referred to above. Qualified rights may therefore be interfered with, provided the interference is justified according to the conditions set out within each article. So such interference must be legal, necessary in a democratic society and there must be a reasonable relationship of proportionality between the means employed and the aim pursued. The principle of proportionality involves the striking of a fair balance between the demands of the general interest of the community and the requirements of the protection of the individual s fundamental rights. 4.5 The Equality Act 2010 (the Act) introduced a new public sector equality duty (the equality duty or the duty. It covers the following nine protected characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
4 4.6 In summary, the Council must, in the exercise of its functions, have due regard to the need to: -eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Act -advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not -foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not 4.7 The duty continues to be a have regard duty and the weight to be attached to it is a matter for the committee, bearing in mind the issues of relevance and proportionality. It is not an absolute requirement to eliminate unlawful discrimination, advance equality of opportunity or foster good relations. 4.8 The Equality and Human Rights Commission has recently issued Technical Guidance on the Public Sector Equality Duty and statutory guidance entitled Equality Act 2010 Services, Public Functions & Associations Statutory Code of Practice. The Council must have regard to the statutory code in so far as it relates to the duty and attention is drawn to Chapter 11 which deals particularly with the equality duty. The Technical Guidance also covers what public authorities should do to meet the duty. This includes steps that are legally required, as well as recommended actions. The guidance does not have statutory force but nonetheless regard should be had to it, as failure to do so without compelling reason would be of evidential value. The statutory guide and the technical guidance can be found at: The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has previously issued five guides for public authorities in England giving advice on the equality duty; 1. The essential guide to the public sector equality duty 2. Meeting the equality duty in policy and decision making 3. Engagement and the equality duty 4. Equality objectives and the equality duty 5. Equality information and the equality duty
5 4.10 The essential guide provides an overview of the equality duty requirements including the general equality duty, the specific duties and who they apply to. It covers what public authorities should do to meet the duty including steps that are legally required as well as recommended actions. The other four documents provide more detailed guidance on key areas and advice on good practice. Further information and resources are available at: http// public-sectorequality-duty/guidance-on-the-equality-duty/ 5. The Licensing Objectives The Gambling Act 2005 creates three licensing objectives- 1.
