Liquor delivery service licence refused due to applicant's recent criminal convictions for theft and fraud.

The applicant applied for a liquor delivery service licence.

The Registrar issued a Notice of Proposal to refuse the licence based on the applicant's recent criminal convictions for credit card theft and fraud, which occurred while he was employed by a liquor delivery service.

The Board upheld the refusal, finding that the applicant's past conduct afforded reasonable grounds to believe he would not carry on business in accordance with the law and with integrity and honesty, as required by clause 6(2)(d) of the Liquor Licence Act.

Board orders 9-day liquor licence suspension to commence in November 2009.

Following a decision finding the licensee breached the Liquor Licence Act and ordering a 9-day suspension, the Board requested the licensee propose suspension dates.

The Board rejected the licensee's proposed dates in January 2010 as they fell outside the 90-day parameter, but accepted the alternate proposed dates of November 8 to 16, 2009.

The Board ordered the 9-day suspension to commence on November 8, 2009.

The Board previously ordered a 10-day suspension of the licensee's liquor licence for a violation of section 43 of Ontario Regulation 719/90.

The licensee appealed, postponing the suspension, but subsequently abandoned the appeal and proposed new suspension dates acceptable to the Board.

The Board ordered the 10-day suspension to be served from November 2, 2009, to November 12, 2009.

Liquor licence suspended for nine days after licensee permitted intoxicated patrons on premises.

Following a finding that the licensee permitted intoxicated patrons on its premises in violation of subsection 45(1) of Ontario Regulation 719/90, the Board determined the appropriate sanction.

The Registrar sought a 14-day suspension, while the licensee proposed a monetary penalty or a three-day suspension, citing remedial measures and a generally positive past record.

The Board noted it lacked jurisdiction to order a monetary penalty.

Balancing the seriousness of the violation and a prior similar incident against the licensee's remedial efforts and long-standing record, the Board ordered a nine-day suspension of the liquor licence.

Liquor licence suspended for seven days for failing to report criminal charges and permitting marijuana use.

The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario issued a Notice of Proposal to suspend the liquor licence of the Liongate Lounge for alleged breaches of a licence condition and violations of the Liquor Licence Act and its regulations.

The allegations included failing to notify the AGCO of criminal charges against the principal, having a deadbolted fire exit, and permitting marijuana use on the premises.

The Board found that the Licensee breached the condition and violated the regulations, noting the principal's forthrightness and prompt action regarding the marijuana use as mitigating factors.

The Board ordered a seven-day suspension of the liquor licence and added a condition requiring the Licensee to report the outcome of the criminal proceedings.

The Board found that the licensee breached the condition to notify the AGCO of assault charges, and violated regulations regarding the fire exit and marijuana use.

Considering mitigating factors including the licensee's forthrightness and security measures, the Board ordered a 7-day suspension of the liquor licence and added a condition requiring the licensee to report the outcome of the criminal proceedings.

Liquor licence suspended for 15 days due to serious Fire Code and health safety violations.

The Licensee was found to have contravened the Liquor Licence Act regulations by failing to comply with the Fire Code and the Health Protection and Promotion Act.

The Registrar sought a 21-day suspension of the liquor licence, citing the seriousness of the health and safety violations, including rotting food and gasoline stored near dry food, as well as the Licensee's recent history of non-compliance.

The Licensee requested a 14-day suspension, arguing financial hardship.

The Board found the violations serious and noted the lack of explanation or evidence of corrective measures.

However, distinguishing prior cases, the Board determined that a 15-day suspension was appropriate to achieve specific and general deterrence.

Liquor licence suspended for 15 days following health and fire safety violations.

Following a finding that the Licensee contravened regulations under the Liquor Licence Act relating to health and fire safety standards, the Board held a hearing to determine the appropriate sanction.

The Registrar sought a 21-day suspension, citing the seriousness of the Fire Code and Health Protection and Promotion Act violations, as well as the Licensee's prior compliance history.

The Licensee requested a 14-day suspension, arguing financial hardship.

The Board ordered a 15-day suspension, finding it sufficient for specific and general deterrence, and noted that financial hardship is not a mitigating factor in determining sanctions.

Liquor licence suspended for eight days for permitting drunkenness and allowing liquor outside licensed areas.

The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario sought a 10-day suspension of the licensee's liquor licence for violations of the Liquor Licence Act regulations, specifically permitting drunkenness and allowing liquor outside licensed areas.

The Board previously found the licensee committed four violations on two separate dates.

The licensee argued for a 5-day suspension, noting a subsequent violation had already resulted in an 8-day suspension.

The Board found that a 10-day suspension was not appropriate since not all alleged violations were proven, but a 5-day suspension would not serve specific and general deterrence given the multiple infractions early in the licensee's operations.

The Board ordered an 8-day suspension of the liquor licence.

Liquor licence suspended for 8 days following findings of permitting drunkenness and unauthorized liquor consumption.

The Board previously found the Licensee in violation of subsections 34(1) and 45(1) of Ontario Regulation 719/90 for permitting drunkenness and allowing liquor in unauthorized areas.

The Registrar sought a 10-day suspension, while the Licensee argued for a 5-day suspension, citing a subsequent suspension already served and an intention to sell the business.

The Board determined that an 8-day suspension was appropriate to serve the interests of both specific and general deterrence, noting the Licensee's multiple infractions within its first year of operation.

Liquor licensee found to have permitted drunkenness regarding two patrons; penalty submissions requested.

The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario issued a Notice of Proposal to suspend the liquor licence of Magnum's Pub, alleging the licensee permitted drunkenness on the premises contrary to subsection 45(1) of O.Reg 719/90.

Following a hearing, the Board found that the licensee violated the regulation with respect to two patrons who exhibited clear signs of intoxication, including slurred speech and unsteadiness.

The Board dismissed the allegation regarding a third patron, finding insufficient evidence of drunkenness despite his use of profanities when leaving.

The Board invited written submissions on penalty.

Gaming employee registration suspended for two weeks for failing to comply with terms regarding outstanding debts.

The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario issued a Notice of Proposed Order to suspend the registration of the Registrant as a gaming employee.

The Registrant had previously failed to disclose charges and had unpaid fines and consumer debts, leading to terms being placed on her registration.

She failed to provide proof of payment or a payment plan for these debts, breaching the terms of her registration.

Following an Agreed Statement of Facts and Joint Submission, the Board ordered a two-week suspension of her registration and imposed a condition requiring her to provide a payment plan for all outstanding debts.

Liquor licensee found to have contravened regulations regarding off-licence alcohol, fire safety, and sanitary conditions.

The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario issued a Notice of Proposal to suspend the respondent's liquor licence for alleged violations of the Liquor Licence Act regulations.

Following an inspection, police officers found an empty 28-pack of beer, obstructed and locked fire exits, and severely unsanitary kitchen conditions including rotting food and a dead fly in cooking oil.

The Board found that the licensee contravened the regulations by permitting off-licence alcohol on the premises, failing to comply with the Fire Code, and failing to maintain sanitary conditions under the Health Protection and Promotion Act.

Allegations regarding improper price lists were dismissed due to insufficient evidence.

The Board invited written submissions on penalty.

Liquor licensee found to have permitted drunkenness and removal of liquor to unlicensed areas.

The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario issued a Notice of Proposal to suspend the liquor licence of the respondent pub for alleged violations of the Liquor Licence Act regulations.

Following a hearing, the Board found that the licensee violated the regulations by permitting an intoxicated patron to remain on the premises and allowing patrons to consume alcohol in unlicensed areas on two separate dates.

One allegation of permitting drunkenness was dismissed as the patron's conduct was not found to be disorderly.

The Board invited written submissions on penalty.
