Section 4 (1) of the Casual Trading Act, 1980, provides that the fee for a casual trading licence shall be £100. Section 4 (8) provides that the fee payable under section 4 (1) shall be £5 where a casual trading licence is for the purpose only of selling: (a) fish, horticultural or agricultural produce (other than meat), or (b) articles made by the person who holds the licence or his spouse or children. On 5 July 1982 there were 279 valid licences in force; fees of £100 had been paid in respect of 216 and £5 in respect of 63. Unless previously revoked, a licence continues in force for 12 months and then expires.
