IN THE MATTER of the Sale of Liquor Act 1989

AND

IN THE MATTER of an application by CHARLES MICHEL LAING pursuant to s.123 of the Act for renewal of a General Manager’s Certificate

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 Charles Michel Laing for renewal of a General Manager’s Certificate.

The Police opposed the application because they were not satisfied as to the applicant’s suitability. The matter was referred to the Authority for determination.

A supplementary report from the Police now withdraws opposition on the condition that the certificate is renewed for a shorter term that the maximum three years.

We are satisfied as to the matters to which we must have regard in s.126 of the Act and we grant the application and renew the certificate for two years until 23 June 2011. A notice of renewal is attached to this decision.

DATED at WELLINGTON this 27th day of August 2010
