Given repeated and similar breaches (four controlled purchases within two years), prior enforcement action, evidence of systemic failure and inadequate supervision or staff training, the Authority was justified in cancelling the company's off-licence and refusing renewal of the manager's certificate as necessary to protect public welfare and achieve deterrence; the High Court upheld those conclusions but varied the deferred effective date to 15 May 2009.
