The Authority did not err in exercising its discretion to suspend for 24 hours because, notwithstanding the licensee's overall good reputation and low culpability, identifiable shortcomings in supervision and monitoring (notably the salesperson's unusually low rate of date-of-birth entries and the ease of bypassing prompts) meant the licensee had not shown it was without fault; general deterrence and the Act's objectives justified a nominal suspension, and the High Court would have reached the same result.
