Liquor licence for outdoor patio approved subject to noise mitigation conditions despite resident objections.

Liquor licensee found to have violated the Liquor Licence Act by failing to properly inspect an underage male patron's false identification.

The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario issued a Notice of Proposal to suspend the liquor licence of The James Joyce Irish Pub for alleged violations of the Liquor Licence Act regarding the service of underage patrons.

The female's identification was not checked, but the evidence regarding her service was based on hearsay and contradicted by the bartender's testimony.

The Board found the Licensee violated the Act with respect to the male patron only, and invited written submissions on penalty.

Allegation of permitting drunkenness dismissed as patron's behaviour was attributed to tiredness and a heavy accent.

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

An AGCO inspector testified that a male patron exhibited signs of intoxication, including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and weaving on his stool.

The licensee's employees testified that the patron was not intoxicated, but rather had a heavy Newfoundland accent, was tired after a 12-hour shift, and was merely adjusting his position.

The Board found the employees' evidence credible and concluded that the Registrar failed to establish on a balance of probabilities that the patron was drunk.

The allegation was dismissed.

Allegation of permitting drunkenness dismissed as patron's behaviour was attributed to tiredness and a heavy accent.

An AGCO inspector testified that a male patron exhibited signs of intoxication, including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and weaving on his stool.

The licensee's employees testified that the patron was not intoxicated, but rather had a heavy Newfoundland accent, was tired after a 12-hour shift, and was merely adjusting his position.

The Board found the employees' evidence credible and concluded that the Registrar failed to establish on a balance of probabilities that the patron was drunk.

The allegation was dismissed.
