The appellant appealed a decision of the Licence Appeal Tribunal that found it breached capacity limits under the Liquor Licence Act and imposed a 15-day licence suspension.

The appellant conceded its patio was overcrowded but argued the Tribunal erred in law regarding the extent of the breach, reasons, fairness, and sanction.

The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding the Tribunal's decision reasonable, supported by reasons, and the 15-day suspension appropriate given previous similar infractions.

The applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission refusing to revoke a Direction to Exclude her from all Ontario gaming sites.

The exclusion was originally imposed due to findings that the applicant was involved in loan sharking at criminal rates of interest.

The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding the Registrar's decision reasonable given the gravity of the past conduct and the applicant's failure to demonstrate she appreciated the gravity of her actions or that there was no risk of reoccurrence.
