Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

The thrust of my argument, and that of every speaker whom I have heard, is the importance of tribunals, small claims resolutions and domestic remedies for smaller cases to make it easier for people, remove legal costs, make it simpler to get a resolution and shorten the time involved. Something that could be done here as a compromise between our points of view would be to have an initial step at the employment appeals tribunal. Then, if the person against whom the complaint was being made – let us say a licensee – wished to have it dealt with in the District Court, I could, reluctantly, live with it. It might suit the licensee very often.
