Liquor List
Constitution and functions
The Commercial and Consumer Tribunal has jurisdiction to hear and determine appeals against decisions of the chief executive of the Department made under the Liquor Act 1992 (Liquor Act).
The Tribunal provides an informal, quick, efficient and cheaper form of merit review for liquor licensing matters than is available under a court system.
The Tribunal is also given jurisdiction by the Wine Industry Act 1994 (Wine Act) to hear and determine appeals against decisions of the chief executive made under that Wine Act.
The Tribunal may review decisions of the chief executive regarding:
- the grant or refusal of a licence or permit or the renewal of an extended hours permit, or a review decision under section 142P
- the specification of conditions in a licence or permit
- the taking of disciplinary action relating to, or the urgent suspension of, a licence, the cancellation or suspension of a permit or the imposition or variation of the conditions of a permit, or the surrender of a licence or permit
- the grant or refusal of an authorisation under the Act
- an order directed to a licensee or permittee or a person holding an authorisation under the Act
- assessment, reassessment or imposition of a fee payable in respect of a licence
- allotment or apportionment of liability for payment, or entitlement to refund, of a fee in respect of a licence or permit.
For the purpose of exercising its jurisdiction, the Tribunal is properly constituted by one to three of its members, of whom one must be legally qualified.
