The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario issued a Notice of Proposal to suspend the liquor licence of 1428493 Ontario Inc., operating as Leao D'ouro Restaurante.

Following an inspection, the licensee was alleged to have committed several infractions, including failing to post the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder warning sign, failing to conspicuously post the liquor licence, lacking a required partition between the licensed area and the street, and possessing off-licence alcohol on the premises.

The Board found breaches regarding the warning sign, the posting of the licence, the lack of a drink list, the missing partition, and bringing off-licence liquor onto the premises.

However, the Board dismissed the allegation of keeping off-licence liquor for sale, accepting the licensee's evidence that the alcohol was purchased as a favour for catering clients and not sold or served on the premises.

The Board invited written submissions on sanction.

At a pre-hearing conference regarding a Notice of Proposal to suspend the liquor licence of Club Paris Inc., the Board of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario ordered both the corporate licensee and the Registrar to complete their respective disclosure obligations ten days prior to the scheduled hearing date.
