Every decision of the DLC must be publicly notified. You can search decisions of the DLC below.
If you were a party to proceedings and disagree with the DLC’s decision you can appeal to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA). Appeals are dealt with by way of a rehearing. You need to give a notice of appeal to ARLA within 10 working days of the date of the decision being notified to you.
There is a cost for filing an appeal.
For more information on appeals go to the Ministry of Justice Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority webpage(external link).
