Amongst its other publications and news stories, the PCA publishes Pubs Code Action stories to:

  • Help the industry understand Pubs Code issues and give a clear picture of action the Pubs Code Adjudicator (PCA) has taken
  • Raise awareness of issues so affected tenants know to contact their Code Compliance Officer
  • Help tenants and others identify if they have relevant information to share with the PCA
  • Let the industry know of any changes a pub-owning business (POB) has made and promote best practice across POBs

A Pubs Code Action Story is a summary of what has happened to date.

The PCA keeps the need for any further regulatory action under review.
