Liquor licence suspended for 60 days after patron was over-served and died in collision.
The appellant appealed a Notice of Proposal to suspend its liquor licence for 60 days following a fatal motor vehicle accident involving a patron.
The patron had consumed 10 ounces of alcohol at the licensed premises in under an hour before driving the wrong way on a highway and colliding with a transport truck.
The Tribunal found that the appellant permitted alcohol to be sold to an intoxicated person, permitted intoxication on the premises, allowed an uncertified bartender to serve alcohol, and served alcohol after hours.
The appeal was dismissed and the Registrar was directed to carry out the 60-day licence suspension.
