Allegation of permitting drunkenness dismissed; licensee did not acquiesce to intoxicated patron's behaviour.

The Registrar issued a Notice of Proposal to suspend the Licensee's liquor licence, alleging that the Licensee permitted drunkenness on the premises contrary to subsection 45(1) of Ontario Regulation 719/90.

During a routine inspection, AGCO inspectors observed a patron exhibiting signs of intoxication.

The Board found that while the patron was intoxicated, there was insufficient evidence that the Licensee permitted the drunkenness.

The Licensee had attempted to control the patron's disruptive behaviour while engaged in conversation with the inspectors, and the inspectors left before observing whether the Licensee took steps to remove the patron.

The allegation was dismissed.

Motion to strike granted; transfer applicant lacks legal authority to request hearing for liquor licence revocation.

The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario brought a motion to strike a Request for Hearing filed by a transfer applicant in response to a Notice of Proposal to revoke a liquor licence.

The transfer applicant had filed the request on behalf of the licensee but admitted she did not have the authority to represent the principal of the licensee.

The Board found that a transfer applicant does not have the legal authority under the Liquor Licence Act to request a hearing in respect of a Notice of Proposal to revoke a licence.

The motion was granted and the Request for Hearing was struck.

Liquor licensee found to have hindered police inspection and permitted disorderly conduct by a patron.

The Registrar issued a Notice of Proposal to suspend the licensee's liquor licence following a police inspection where staff were uncooperative and failed to control a disorderly patron.

The Board found that the licensee violated the Liquor Licence Act by hindering the inspection and violated the regulations by failing to have a manager present and permitting disorderly conduct.

However, the Board declined to find a violation regarding the overall control of the premises, as there was no evidence the premises were out of control or that the licensee lacked plans for maintaining control.

Written submissions on penalty were requested.

Liquor licence suspended for 14 days following over-service of alcohol to an intoxicated patron.

The Board previously found the Licensee violated the Liquor Licence Act by over-serving a patron who was subsequently involved in a motor vehicle accident, and violated regulations regarding public safety.

The Registrar sought a 21-day suspension, while the Licensee proposed a maximum of four days.

Weighing the serious nature of the violations against the fact that this was a first violation for a reasonably diligent and remorseful licence-holder, the Board ordered a 14-day suspension of the liquor licence.

Liquor licence suspended for 15 days due to repeated overcrowding and permitting marijuana use.

Following a finding that the licensee violated the Liquor Licence Act by permitting overcrowding and marijuana use on the premises, a hearing was held to determine the appropriate sanction.

The Registrar sought an 18 to 21-day suspension, noting the licensee's prior disciplinary history for overcrowding.

The licensee requested a 7-day suspension, citing financial hardship and pending applications to increase capacity.

The Board emphasized that overcrowding is a serious public safety issue, but acknowledged the licensee's generally effective efforts to control smoking.

The Board ordered a 15-day suspension of the liquor licence.

Liquor licence violations found for permitting drunkenness and fire code breaches; failure to facilitate inspection dismissed.

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

Following a hearing, the Board found that the Licensee permitted drunkenness on the premises after a patron left the bar highly intoxicated and was subsequently involved in a motor vehicle accident.

The Board also found a violation for failing to maintain illuminated fire exit signs.

However, the Board dismissed the allegation that the Licensee failed to facilitate a police inspection, finding that the confusion and irritation during the inspection did not amount to a failure to facilitate.

The Registrar sought a suspension of the licensee's liquor licence following findings that the licensee permitted intoxicated patrons and failed to clear signs of service after hours.

The Board ordered a 12-day suspension of the liquor licence and revoked the caterer's endorsement.

Following a finding that the licensee breached conditions of its liquor licence, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario held a hearing to determine the appropriate sanction.

The Registrar sought revocation of the licence due to safety concerns arising from specially promoted events.

Instead, the Board imposed a 25-day suspension and attached new, stricter conditions regarding security personnel, video surveillance, and police notification for special events.

Liquor licence application approved with conditions as objectors failed to prove it was contrary to public interest.

The applicant applied for a liquor licence for a proposed restaurant.

Several local residents and the local city councillor objected to the application on the basis of the concentration of licensed establishments in the area and potential noise issues.

The applicant agreed to a list of conditions to mitigate the neighbours' concerns.

The Board found that the objectors' concerns were generalized and did not relate directly to the applicant's proposed operation.

The Board approved the application and ordered the agreed-upon conditions attached to the licence.

The Board accepted the inspectors' evidence, finding the licensee violated section 43 and subsection 45(2) of Ontario Regulation 719/90, and invited written submissions on penalty.
