The Tribunal determined the appropriate sanction for a licensee found to have committed multiple breaches of the Liquor Licence Act, including permitting immoderate consumption, allowing violent conduct, and obstructing an AGCO investigation.

The Registrar sought a 14-day suspension and a video surveillance condition, while the licensee proposed a fine.

The Tribunal held it lacked jurisdiction to impose a fine and ordered a 10-day suspension along with the requested video surveillance condition to serve as specific and general deterrence.

The Applicant appealed a Notice of Proposal by the Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming to suspend its liquor licence.

The proposal alleged that the establishment over-served a group of patrons, permitted drunkenness, allowed a violent altercation resulting in serious injury, and subsequently obstructed an AGCO investigation by refusing to provide video surveillance.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the Licensee breached multiple provisions of the Liquor Licence Act and its regulations, including permitting immoderate consumption, serving intoxicated persons, permitting violent conduct, and obstructing an inspection.

The Tribunal requested submissions on the appropriate sanction.

The applicant appealed a Notice of Proposal by the Registrar to refuse registration under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002.

The parties reached a settlement and requested a consent order without a hearing pursuant to section 4.1 of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal issued the consent order, imposing conditions on the applicant's registration, including requirements to maintain a visible sign, operate exclusively from the approved location, comply with municipal by-laws, and not invite the public to deal at unapproved locations.

The applicant travel agency appealed a Notice of Proposal to Revoke Registration issued by the Registrar under the Travel Industry Act, 2002, citing failures to maintain a trust account and minimum working capital.

At a pre-hearing conference, the parties reached a settlement and consented to an order disposing of the matter without a hearing.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal ordered the matter settled in accordance with the Minutes of Settlement, which required the applicant to submit monthly trust reconciliations, maintain minimum working capital, and file annual financial statements.
