[2011] NZLLA 960

IN THE MATTER of the Sale of Liquor Act 1989

AND

IN THE MATTER of an application by SHARON MARIA BLASCZAK pursuant to s.118 of the Act for a Club Manager’s Certificate

BEFORE THE LIQUOR LICENSING AUTHORITY

Chairman: District Court Judge J D Hole

Member: Mr P M McHaffie

FINAL DECISION

In decision [2010] NZLLA PH 576, following a public hearing at Auckland on 17 March 2010, we adjourned an application by Sharon Maria Blasczak for a Club Manager’s Certificate.

The Police and District Licensing Agency Inspector had opposed the application on the basis of Miss Blasczak having incurred a conviction for a liquor related traffic offence.

We elected to adjourn the application in accordance with the Authority’s commonly adopted approach that two years should elapse since the offence to ensure that there is unlikely to be any repeat incident.

The Police and Agency Inspector have advised our Secretary that there have been no further matters of concern brought to their attention during the period of adjournment, and opposition to the application is now withdrawn.

We are satisfied as to the matters to which we must have regard in s.121(2) of the Act and we grant the application. The certificate may issue immediately.

DATED at WELLINGTON this 23rd day of August 2011

B M Holmes
Secretary
