Bradford licensing justices said that he had abdicated his duties as licensee to his brother Michael and his partner Claire. |
Lord Reid did not believe there could be delegation where the licensee remained on the premises. |
The Court noted that Section 16 made it an offence for a licensee knowingly to harbour or suffer to remain on his premises any constable on duty. |
It was irrelevant in this respect whether the patentee and licensee belonged to the same corporate group. |
A key part of the arrangement is ensuring that what goes into the escrow is what the licensee expects. |
The license is also revoked if the licensee makes a patent claim against another licensee over the code covered by the license. |
