By‑law 36(1) must be read in the context of the licensing scheme and By‑law 12; it does not apply to assistants lawfully employed by a licence holder, who are regulated by By‑law 12. The magistrate conflated the two provisions, relied on irrelevant reasoning, and wrongly refused an adjournment to call the licence holder; the evidence was insufficient to sustain conviction, so the conviction was quashed and sentence set aside.
