Liquor Act 1992

Subsection (2) applies if—

the commissioner gives a licensee a notice about a proposed action under section 137; and

the licensee transfers the licence before the commissioner makes a decision about the proposed action under section 137A.

Sections 137A, 137B and 137D continue to apply in relation to the proposed action as if the licence is still held by the former licensee.

Subsection (4) applies if—

a licensee transfers the licence; and

within 1 year after the transfer, the commissioner considers there is a ground to take relevant disciplinary action relating to the licence for circumstances arising before the transfer.

Sections 137 to 137B and 137D apply as if the licence is still held by the former licensee.

However, for subsections (2) and (4), the only disciplinary action that may be taken against the former licensee is a relevant disciplinary action.

For subsections (2) and (4), this Act applies, with any necessary changes, to the former licensee as if a reference to a licensee included the former licensee.

In this section—relevant disciplinary action means one of the actions mentioned in paragraphs (f), (g) and (i) of the definition disciplinary action in section 4.
