Allegations of permitting drunkenness and supplying alcohol to an intoxicated patron dismissed.

The Registrar issued a Notice of Proposal to suspend the licensee's liquor licence for allegedly permitting drunkenness and supplying alcohol to an intoxicated patron.

Inspectors and police officers observed a patron exhibiting signs of intoxication, including unsteadiness and slurred speech.

The patron denied being drunk, attributing her unsteadiness to new stiletto shoes.

The Board found that while the patron exhibited signs of intoxication, the licensee did not permit the behaviour, as the patron had just arrived, passed security, and the manager immediately removed her drink and escorted her out when directed by inspectors.

The allegations were dismissed.
