Horse racing licence refused due to appellant's multiple sexual assault convictions involving employees.
The appellant appealed a Notice of Proposed Order to Refuse to Issue a Licence as a Horseperson under the Horse Racing Licence Act, 2015.
The Registrar refused the licence because the appellant had been convicted of sexual assault on three occasions involving women he employed in his horse racing work.
The Tribunal found that there were reasonable grounds to believe the appellant would not act with honesty, integrity, and in compliance with the law, given his repeated criminal conduct while previously licenced.
The Tribunal confirmed the Registrar's decision to refuse the licence and also ordered a publication ban on the criminal records to align with a Criminal Code ban.
Monetary penalty of $2,750 confirmed for after-hours liquor service and failure to clear evidence.
The appellant appealed a $2,750 monetary penalty imposed by the Registrar for breaches of the liquor licence regulations at Devon House Bar and Nightclub.
The Registrar alleged that on two dates in June 2024, the establishment failed to clear evidence of liquor within 45 minutes after the end of service hours, and on one date, served liquor outside prescribed hours.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the evidence of the inspectors credible and established the contraventions on a balance of probabilities.
The monetary penalty was confirmed.
