The Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming issued a Notice of Proposed Order to revoke the appellant's registration as a gaming assistant, relying on her past conduct during an investigation into criminal charges that were ultimately withdrawn.

The appellant appealed the proposed order.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant's unassailable ten-year work record and the withdrawal of the criminal charges outweighed the Registrar's concerns regarding her credibility in a previous hearing.

The Tribunal concluded there were no reasonable grounds to believe the appellant would not act with integrity, honesty, or in the public interest, and directed the Registrar not to carry out the proposed order.

The Applicant brought a motion to extend the time to file an appeal against the revocation of his registration as a gaming assistant under the Gaming Control Act, 1992.

The Applicant had breached the terms of his registration by failing to report charges under the Highway Traffic Act.

Applying the four-factor test for extending time, the Tribunal found that while the Applicant had a bona fide intention to appeal and the delay was short, the Registrar would be prejudiced and the appeal lacked merit.

The motion for an extension of time was dismissed.

The Applicant appealed an order by the Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming immediately suspending her registration as a gaming assistant.

The suspension followed the Applicant's arrest on criminal charges related to a marijuana grow operation discovered at a property she owned.

The Tribunal found that the Applicant was aware of the illegal use of her property and had provided misleading information to investigators.

Concluding that the Applicant had not conducted herself within the law or with honesty and integrity, the Tribunal held that the immediate suspension of her registration was necessary in the public interest and confirmed the Registrar's order.

The Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming proposed to revoke the applicant's liquor licence, alleging obstruction of police inspections, holding unauthorized liquor, and failing to pay cost orders.

The allegations regarding unauthorized liquor and unpaid costs were not proven.

The Tribunal concluded that revocation was not appropriate, noting the owner's willingness to facilitate other inspections, and instead ordered a 21-day suspension of the liquor licence.

The applicant appealed a Notice of Proposal to revoke its liquor sales licence.

The Tribunal found that the establishment had been closed for more than two years without the licence being surrendered, constituting a breach of section 56 of Ontario Regulation 719/90.
