Subject: LICENSING TRIBUNAL-RED LANTERN RESTAURANT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the letter from Mr. Bernard Verbanac (Morel) Kelly Lawyers), dated May 1, 2006, advising
that his client is withdrawing their business licence application for a Place of Refreshment
(Class A) -The Red Lantern restaurant, 265 King Street E., be acknowledged, and further;
That the licensing tribunal established by Council resolution on April 3, 2006, to hold a hearing
into the said licence application, be dissolved.
BACKGROUND:
On April 3, 2006, Council adopted a recommendation to establish a licensing tribunal to hold a
hearing into the business licence application for the Red Lantern restaurant.
REPORT:
The Licensing Tribunal commenced its hearing on April 26, 2006 with both staff and the
applicant and her lawyer present. Due to the volume of material submitted by the Waterloo
Regional Police Services and a last minute witness, it was decided to adjourn the hearing to
allow time for staff and the applicant to review the material and witness statement. On May 1,
2006, the City received correspondence from the lawyer representing the applicant advising that
his client does not wish to proceed with the application for the business licences and is
withdrawing the application. Although the tribunal is in adjournment, the withdrawal of the
application removes the necessity to continue with the hearing.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
