Liquor licence suspended for four days for permitting drunkenness, reduced from proposed 14-day suspension.

The Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming proposed a 14-day suspension of the appellant's liquor licence for permitting drunkenness.

The Tribunal previously found the appellant contravened s. 45(1) of O. Reg. 719/90 but dismissed another allegation.

On the issue of sanction, the Registrar sought the full 14-day suspension, citing aggravating factors and a prior monetary penalty.

The appellant requested a warning.

The Tribunal found a 14-day suspension unreasonable and too harsh given the appellant's relatively positive compliance history and the fact that only one allegation was proven.

The Tribunal ordered a 4-day suspension.

OLATOntario Licence Appeal TribunalDec 1, 2014

Liquor licence suspension appeal allowed in part; drunkenness violation upheld but disorderly conduct allegation dismissed.

The Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming proposed to suspend the liquor licence of the appellant, operating as Diamonds Cabaret, alleging violations of the Liquor Licence Act regulations.

The Registrar alleged the appellant failed to deter disorderly conduct outside the premises after an ejected patron was assaulted by off-duty dancers, and that the appellant permitted drunkenness inside the premises on a separate occasion.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the disorderly conduct allegation, finding the assault outside was unforeseeable and not a predictable consequence of the patron's earlier behaviour inside.

However, the Tribunal upheld the drunkenness allegation, finding that staff knew or ought to have known a patron was intoxicated but allowed him to remain with a beer.

The Tribunal requested written submissions on the appropriate sanction.

Liquor licence approved; municipality's blanket objection without specific evidence failed to meet public interest onus.

The City of Toronto filed a blanket objection to all liquor licence applications unless the applicant met certain conditions, but called no evidence specific to the appellant's application.

The Tribunal found that a municipal resolution alone, without specific evidence, is not persuasive enough to prove that issuing the licence is contrary to the public interest.

The Tribunal directed the Registrar to approve the application.

Administrative penalty for failing to file an accessibility report reduced from $2,000 to $500.

The appellant, Lafleur Restaurants Limited, appealed an order requiring it to pay a $2,000 administrative penalty for failing to file an accessibility report under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

The appellant argued the failure was due to inadvertence and filed the report immediately upon receiving the order.

The Tribunal found that the failure to file the report was a minor contravention, not a major one, as it did not pose a health or safety risk.

The Tribunal varied the Director's order, reducing the administrative penalty to $500.

The Tribunal varied the order, reducing the administrative penalty to $500.

Administrative penalty for failing to file an accessibility report reduced from $2,000 to $250.

The appellant appealed an order requiring it to file an accessibility report and pay a $2,000 administrative penalty under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

The appellant argued it was unaware of the requirement, operated an internet-based business, and had fewer than 20 employees.

The Tribunal found that while the appellant was required to file a report in 2012, the failure to do so was a minor administrative contravention, not a major one posing health or safety risks.

Furthermore, as this was the first reporting cycle, there was no contravention history.

The Tribunal varied the order, reducing the administrative penalty to $250.

Extension of time to appeal registration revocation granted where two-day delay caused by counsel's administrative error.

The appellant, a registered motor vehicle salesperson, brought a motion to extend the time to file an appeal of a Notice of Proposal to Revoke Registration.

The appeal was filed two business days late due to an administrative error by the appellant's counsel.

Applying the four factors from Manuel, the Tribunal found that the appellant had a bona fide intention to appeal, the delay was short and explained, and there was no significant prejudice to the Registrar.

The Tribunal granted the extension of time and set aside the final notice revoking the registration.

OLATOntario Licence Appeal TribunalJan 12, 2015

Liquor licence suspended for four days for permitting drunkenness, reduced from proposed 14-day suspension.

The Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming proposed a 14-day suspension of the appellant's liquor licence for permitting drunkenness.

The Tribunal previously found the appellant contravened s. 45(1) of O. Reg. 719/90 but dismissed another allegation.

On the issue of sanction, the Registrar sought the full 14-day suspension, citing aggravating factors and a prior monetary penalty.

The appellant requested a warning.

The Tribunal found a 14-day suspension unreasonable and too harsh given the appellant's relatively positive compliance history and the fact that only one allegation was proven.

The Tribunal ordered a 4-day suspension.

Liquor licence suspension appeal allowed in part; drunkenness violation upheld but disorderly conduct allegation dismissed.

The Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming proposed to suspend the liquor licence of the appellant, operating as Diamonds Cabaret, alleging violations of the Liquor Licence Act regulations.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the disorderly conduct allegation, finding the assault outside was unforeseeable and not a predictable consequence of the patron's earlier behaviour inside.

However, the Tribunal upheld the drunkenness allegation, finding that staff knew or ought to have known a patron was intoxicated but allowed him to remain with a beer.

The Tribunal requested written submissions on the appropriate sanction.

Liquor licence approved; municipality's blanket objection without specific evidence failed to meet public interest onus.

The appellant applied for a liquor licence for a beauty salon and spa.

The City of Toronto filed a blanket objection to all liquor licence applications unless the applicant met certain conditions, but called no evidence specific to the appellant's application.

The Tribunal found that a municipal resolution alone, without specific evidence, is not persuasive enough to prove that issuing the licence is contrary to the public interest.

The Tribunal directed the Registrar to approve the application.

The Tribunal varied the order, reducing the administrative penalty to $500.

Administrative penalty for failing to file an accessibility report reduced from $2,000 to $250.

The appellant appealed an order requiring it to file an accessibility report and pay a $2,000 administrative penalty under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

The appellant argued it was unaware of the requirement, operated an internet-based business, and had fewer than 20 employees.

The Tribunal found that while the appellant was required to file a report in 2012, the failure to do so was a minor administrative contravention, not a major one posing health or safety risks.

Furthermore, as this was the first reporting cycle, there was no contravention history.

The Tribunal varied the order, reducing the administrative penalty to $250.
