Kilic v Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority [2016] NSWCATAD 290

Kilic v Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority [2016] NSWCATAD 290

A conditional stay of the decision to disqualify Mr Kilic from being a close associate was granted to secure the effectiveness of the Tribunal's determination and protect his income as a music event promoter, constrained by conditions that limit his involvement and financial benefit to musical events in licensed premises. The Tribunal declined to order removal of the published disciplinary notice, finding that the decision has already been published, reputational harm is irreversible, and public interest favors publication.
