    High Court

    The Court found the Authority suspended the licence on statutory breach grounds so appeal was limited to a question of law under s139; no error of law was identified and the appeal failed. Even on rehearing the 26 day suspension was within the permissible range and not manifestly excessive given repeated breaches and the club's management failings.

    • Suspension of club licence
    • Appeal on point of law s139
    • Suitability to hold licence
    • Manifestly excessive sanction
