Contained in the licensing act at page Appendix 4 of that act it states; - is
not illegal or an offence for any person to provide entertainment in a
private back garden or private residence unless they have the intentions to
make profit. We do not accept that a person who helps, organizes or
supplies equipment for a rave where there is loud music late at night has
obviously done an act in contravention of section I (1) (a) of the 1998 Act,
but we do accept that If this was to take place out doors in a public place or
not on a private self-contained premises then playing music with 20 or
more person(s) may constitute to the legal definition of the word “Rave”

cause harassment, alarm or distress on the dates contained within the Asbo

section 63 of that act. The Applicant understands that the second limb of

the organization of illegal “RAVES” the key word being raves, if a rave
cannot be proven to have taken place, then there should by law, be no case
