The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario brought a motion for substituted service of a notice of appeal and certificate respecting evidence on the respondent, the sole officer and director of a corporate licensee.
The appeal concerned a Licence Appeal Tribunal decision regarding the proposed revocation of a liquor licence.
The court found that the Registrar had made comprehensive but unsuccessful efforts to serve the respondent personally and that the respondent was likely aware of the appeal.
The motion for substituted service was granted.
