TO HOLDERS OF GENERAL MANAGER’S CERTIFICATES

Please find enclosed your general manager’s certificate, duly granted by the Liquor Licensing Authority. You should read it carefully.

You should also familiarise yourself (if you have not already done so) with all the relevant sections under Part VI “Management of Licensed Premises” and Part VIII “Offences and Enforcement” of the Sale of Liquor Act 1989, and I would specifically draw your attention to the following:

s.123 Renewal of Manager’s Certificates
(2) Every application for the renewal of a manager’s certificate shall –
(a) Be filed with –
(i) The District Licensing Agency for the district in which the applicant is presently employed as a manager; or
(ii) Where the applicant is no longer employed as a manager, the District Licensing Agency for the district in which the applicant is residing; and
(b) Be made before the date of the expiry of the certificate; and
(c) Be made in the prescribed form and manner; and
(d) Contain the prescribed particulars; and
(e) Be accompanied by the prescribed fee

For copies of application forms, you could contact the District Licensing Agency at your District or City Council offices.

s.135 Suspension Or Cancellation Of Manager’s Certificates
(1) Any member of the Police or any inspector may, at any time, apply in accordance with this section for an order by the Licensing Authority –
(a) Suspending a manager’s certificate; or
(b) Cancelling a manager’s certificate.

(3) The grounds on which an application for an order under this section may be made are as follows:
(a) That the manager has failed to conduct any licensed premises in a proper manner:
(b) That the conduct of the manager is such as to show that he or she is not a suitable person to hold the certificate.
