Northern Irish Court of Appeal, on appeal by way of case stated, finds that the conviction for permitting the consumption of intoxicating liquor outside permitted hours was correct in law based on the finding that neither musical or other entertainment nor substantial refreshment had been provided at the said premises on the occasion in question which had been found as a matter of fact.
Criminal law – appeal by way of case stated – Licensing – offence of permitting the consumption of intoxicating liquor outside permitted hours contrary Article 41(1)(a)(ii) and 41(2) of the Licensing (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 – liquor was consumed after 11 despite no entertainment or substantial refreshment being provided to the patrons – whether the legislation made it clear that it was an offence to sell alcohol or permit when its consumption was not ancillary to the provision of entertainment or refreshment.
