The appellants applied for a liquor sales licence for the outdoor areas of a beach property.

The Registrar issued a Notice of Proposal to review the application after receiving objections from neighbouring residents concerned about noise, sanitation, and safety.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the objectors' concerns were speculative and that they failed to establish that issuing the licence was not in the public interest.

The Tribunal directed the Registrar to approve the application subject to conditions limiting capacity, hours of service, and requiring signage.

The applicant appealed a Notice of Proposal by the Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming to revoke their registration under the Gaming Control Act, 1992.

The parties reached a settlement and applied for a consent order without a hearing under section 4.1 of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal issued the consent order, which included a 30-day suspension of registration, an agreement not to sell counterfeit products, and a requirement to comply with tobacco and copyright legislation.
