Liquor licence suspension hearing finds violation for permitting drunkenness but dismisses disorderly conduct allegations.

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

The hearing proceeded ex parte after the licensee failed to attend.

The Board found that the licensee violated subsection 45(1) of Ontario Regulation 719/90 by permitting drunkenness on the premises, based on police evidence of three intoxicated patrons.

However, the Board dismissed allegations of permitting disorderly conduct and failing to ensure an unlawful person did not remain on the premises under subsection 34(1) of the Act, finding insufficient reliable evidence to support those charges.

The Board invited written submissions on penalty.
