AGCO 2012

Following a hearing, the Board previously found the licensee in breach of the regulations under the Liquor Licence Act and ordered a 5-day suspension of its liquor licence.

The Board requested the licensee to propose suspension dates.

The licensee proposed dates that were acceptable to the Board.

The Board ordered the 5-day suspension to commence on April 4, 2012.

The Registrar sought a 60-day suspension of the Licensee's liquor licence for various alleged violations, but the Board only found contraventions of subsections 31(1)(c) and 33(1) of O. Reg. 719/90, relating to purchasing alcohol off licence and bringing personal alcohol into a licensed area.

In written submissions on sanction, the Registrar requested a 14-day suspension, while the Licensee requested a warning.

The Board found that a warning was insufficient given a previous warning, but a 14-day suspension was too severe.

The Board ordered a 5-day suspension of the liquor licence as a specific and general deterrent.

The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario sought a 45-day suspension of the licensee's liquor licence following findings that the licensee breached regulations regarding off-licence liquor and failing to take action regarding an intoxicated patron.

The intoxicated patron's actions subsequently resulted in a fatal accident.

The Board considered the licensee's history of prior infractions and failure to take full responsibility, but noted her cooperation.

The Board ordered a 28-day suspension of the liquor licence as a matter of specific and general deterrence.

A hearing was held regarding an Order of Immediate Suspension of the respondent's registration as a gaming assistant.

After several adjournments, the Registrar's Representative advised that the suspension had been lifted.

Consequently, the Board dismissed the Order of Immediate Suspension.

The Board previously found the Licensee contravened clause 50(c) and subsection 45(1) of O. Reg. 719/90 by failing to maintain a fire exit sign and permitting drunkenness on the premises.

In this decision on sanction, the Board issued a letter of warning for the fire code violation, noting it was corrected.

For permitting drunkenness, the Board imposed a 5-day suspension of the liquor licence, emphasizing the seriousness of the violation and the need for specific and general deterrence.

The Board issued an order setting the dates for a 10-day suspension of the licensee's liquor licence.

The suspension followed earlier decisions finding that the licensee breached the Liquor Licence Act regulations and ordering the 10-day penalty.

The Board accepted the licensee's proposed dates, ordering the suspension to commence on April 10, 2012.

The Board previously ordered a 28-day suspension of the respondent's liquor licence for contraventions of the Liquor Licence Act and its regulations.

The licensee made submissions regarding the length of the suspension, which the Board rejected as the penalty had already been decided.

The Board accepted the licensee's proposed start date and ordered the 28-day suspension to commence on March 17, 2012.

The Board previously found that the licensee contravened the Liquor Licence Act and ordered a five-day suspension of its liquor licence.

The Board ordered the five-day suspension to commence on May 23, 2012.

Following a finding that the licensee violated the Liquor Licence Act regulations in relation to a serious assault on the premises and a failure to call 911, the Board held a hearing on sanction.

The Registrar sought a 30-day suspension, while the licensee proposed a $5,000 fine.

Noting its lack of jurisdiction to issue fines, the Board considered the seriousness of the incident and the lack of staff training, balanced against the licensee's two-year history of problem-free operation since the incident.

The Board ordered a 10-day suspension of the liquor licence.

The Board previously ordered a 14-day suspension of the licensee's liquor licence.

The licensee appealed to the Divisional Court, which stayed the suspension pending the appeal.

The appeal was dismissed.

The Board issued an amended order setting the 14-day suspension to commence on February 19, 2012, based on dates proposed by the licensee.
