P. 663

It's a very broad, meaningless word, so we would like to change
                 it to "provide any service in respect of any licensable activity in
                 unlicensed premises.
                 It's more specific.
                 Engage" is such a nebulous word.
                 COUNSEL FOR THE RESPONDENT:  Yes, your Honour.
                 JUDGE PAWLAK:  You wouldn’t be able to prove a breach
                 probably, because the court would say ---
                 COUNSEL FOR THE RESPONDENT:  Lack of clarity, yes.
                 Your Honour, may I just address you?  You’ve made you r
                 decision.  I don't seek to try to ---
                 JUDG E PAWLAK:  Go behind it, yes.
                 COUNSEL FOR THE RESPONDENT: Seek you to make it
                 again. Just in respect of the amendment to (e), "Unless the
                 purpose of his entry on such property," can I make two
                 submissions as to that?
                 JUDGE PAWLAK:  Yes.

                 COUNSEL FOR THE RESPONDENT: The first is as to the
                 word "services.
                  I don't think there was ever any suggestion that he would need a
                 service; it would be goods.  Also ---
                 JUDGE PAWLAK:  What if his car has broken down?
                 COUNSEL FOR THE RESPONDENT: Yes, okay.
                 The second submission I would make is in respect of that is
                 "garage premises” is perhaps again a little undefined.
                 If it's petrol station, then that's one thing, but garage premises is
                 much wider than that.
                 JUDGE PAWLAK:  I think we all know what a garage is and it
                 has to be open and providing a service. If you like, “garage or
                 petrol, shop or garage or petrol premises," but I don’t see why
                 "garage" should come out, "shop or garage or petrol premises.
                 COUNSEL FOR THE RESPONDENT: The only other
                 submission I would make in respect of (e) --- JUDGE
                 PAWLAK:  Actually, we ought to change it to "fuel.
                 COUNSEL FOR THE RESPONDENT: Yes, in case he drives
                 a diesel.
                 The only other submission I would make in respect of (e) ---
                 JUDGE PAWLAK:  Can we say "shop or garage or fuel
                 supplying premises."
                 COUNSEL FOR THE RESPONDENT: In terms of its
                 practicability, I would submit this perhaps gives Mr. Cordell an
                 ace in the hole if this were ever to come up again and he says,
                 "Oh, no, no, no, I was just on this estate because three hundred
                 yards that way is a corner shop that happens to be open.
                 JUDGE PAWLAK:  Well, no-one would believe him.
                 COUNSEL FOR THE RESPONDENT: You’re Honour, yes,
                 that may well be the case, but in terms again of the practicability
                 of the order, if every time he had an open-ended excuse such as
