Consequence of breach

What can go wrong.

Subsection-to-penalty mapping deferred to counsel. Common in inspection findings; can result in fines, demerit points against the licence, and (in serious or repeated cases) licence suspension.

Consequences are summarised from the underlying legislation. Specific penalties depend on the breach pattern, prior history, and the regulator's enforcement posture. Talk to a liquor and gaming lawyer for a definitive view of your venue's exposure.
