The Appellant applied for a liquor sales licence for an outdoor patio at its pub.

Several local residents and a condominium corporation objected, citing concerns about noise, disruptive behaviour, and traffic.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the objectors' concerns regarding disruptive behaviour and traffic were speculative and unsupported by evidence.

Relying on expert acoustical evidence, the Tribunal concluded that the patio noise would likely comply with municipal bylaws and not disturb residents.

The Tribunal approved the application subject to conditions, including an 11 p.m. closing time and a prohibition on outdoor music.

The applicant appealed the 45-day impoundment of her vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act after her son was caught driving it with a suspended licence.

She argued the vehicle was stolen and that the impoundment caused exceptional hardship.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant did not know her son's licence was suspended and had not consented to him taking the vehicle, satisfying the 'stolen' ground of appeal.

The exceptional hardship ground failed because the applicant had access to other vehicles.

The Tribunal ordered the release of the vehicle.

However, the Tribunal allowed the appeal on the basis of due diligence, finding it reasonable that the applicant relied on having previously seen her spouse's driver's licence and having attempted to add him to her insurance policy without knowing of his suspension.

The Registrar was ordered to release the vehicle.
