[2012] NZLLA 1269

IN THE MATTER of the Sale of Liquor Act 1989

AND

IN THE MATTER of an application by NITESH PATEL pursuant to s.118 of the Act for a General Manager’s Certificate

BEFORE THE LIQUOR LICENSING AUTHORITY

Chairman: District Court Judge J D Hole

Member: Mr R S Miller

FINAL DECISION

In decision [2012] NZLLA PH 237, following a public hearing at Wellington on 29 February 2012, we adjourned an application by Nitesh Patel for a General Manager’s Certificate.

The Police had opposed the application on the basis of Mr Patel’s involvement in the failure in a controlled purchase operation in May 2011 at the Miramar premises in which he was employed at the time.

The Police recommended that the application be adjourned for a period to reflect the seriousness with which such lapses are viewed.

The Police 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of concern brought to their attention during the period of adjournment, and opposition to the application is now withdrawn.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(1) of the Act and we grant the application. The certificate may issue immediately.

DATED at WELLINGTON this 15th day of November 2012

B M Holmes
Secretary
