BETWEEN SHONTAL JAYDI CHENERY

(Police Officer of North Shore)

Applicant

AND EMMA VICTORIA GRAY

Respondent

BEFORE THE LIQUOR LICENSING AUTHORITY

Chairman: District Court Judge J D Hole
Member: Mr P M McHaffie

DECISION

We have before us an application by Constable S J Chenery of North Shore Police dated 28 June 2010, for suspension of a manager’s certificate held by Emma Victoria Gray.

The ground for the application is that the conduct of the manager has been such as to show that she is not a suitable person to hold the certificate.

Ms Gray stopped at a roadside checkpoint on Kaipatiki Road, Glenfield on Thursday 6 August 2009. An evidential blood test registered an alcohol level of 121 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood. Ms Gray was convicted in the North Shore District Court on 5 November 2009, fined $500 and disqualified from driving for six months.

The respondent has agreed to suspension of her manager’s certificate. Accordingly, we make the following order by consent:

General Manager’s Certificate number GM/005/160/2009, issued to Emma Victoria Gray, is suspended for four weeks from Monday 27 September 2010.

DATED at WELLINGTON this 27th day of August 2010
