Respondent

BEFORE THE LIQUOR LICENSING AUTHORITY

DECISION

We have before us an application by Constable R De’Ath of North Shore Police dated 16 July 2012, for suspension of a General Manager’s Certificate held by Kenneth Mark Thoresen.

The ground for the application is that the manager has failed to conduct the licensed premises in a proper manner in that he allowed intoxicated persons to remain in licensed premises, and allowed persons on licensed premises after the hours authorised for the sale and consumption of liquor in breach of the provisions of ss.168 and 170 of the Act.

The respondent does not dispute the ground for the application and he has agreed to suspension of his manager’s certificate. Accordingly, we make the following order by consent:

General Manager’s Certificate number GM/007/188/2011, issued to Kenneth Mark Thoresen, is suspended for four weeks from Monday 10 September 2012.

DATED at WELLINGTON this 13th day of August 2012
