在线等问：关于不小心卖酒给未成年人（已经回答）

白牛

去年4月找了一个在酒铺的工作，老板让我边做边考酒牌。

去年5月 警察钓鱼执法 派一个未成年人来买酒 当时店里很多人 我又要卖酒 还要看客人（店里已经被偷过两次了），所以没注意这个人。说实话 洋人的面孔 有些看着很老成 但是年龄不够。反正就卖了，之后警察马上就上门了。我也解释了，他说会把我说的话记录下来 然后交给法院决定。

去年7月 我就去考了酒牌 但是惠灵顿那个LLA 一直不给我牌照，说警察局对我的指控还没有结束。因为当时我卖酒给未成年人的时候，我没有酒牌，而且持牌人在店里。所以court做出关店一天，持牌人停牌一个月的处罚，但是对我没有处罚，我也没有收到任何的罚单。我觉得这个事儿就算过去了，毕竟也是第一次。

但是我的酒牌一直不下来，直到今年2月 我反复打电话去LLA催 他才在albert st上的法院安排一个hearing在四月底。我前几天跑去法院问这个hearing到底是干什么的？我在上面要说什么做什么？ 哪一方都会参加？比如LLA会派人吗？警察局会派人吗？我要陈述些什么？ 前台的人都表示不知道...... 我晕 在上到6楼去问，他们也不知道。

我现在有点懵： 卖酒给未成年人的事儿算是结束了吗？这个hearing到底要我做什么？

你没有被起诉,hearing 是由本地法官和LLA派来的2个人组成一个审议的团体,然后听听council的酒牌官和警察方面的officer为什么不给你发酒牌,同时你也可以申诉你觉得你可以被发酒牌的理由, 最后由法官的lla那两个人组成的团体根据双方的陈述做出裁决是否发酒牌给你. 如果你对hearing的结果不满意,你可以上诉去高等法院,由高等法院开庭再次审理. 建议如果你真的很在乎你的酒牌的话,找个律师去帮你出席hearing,一定要是barrister,不是一般的lawyer或者solicitor之类的小律师,因为很多律师根本没有什么概念什么是Liquor Licensing Authority Hearing,你到这个网站就知道我说的才是正确的http://www.justice.govt.nz/tribunals/liquor-licensing-authority

您好，LS 所说没有错，当时看您的问题有点快，直接把LLA hearing 看漏了，以为是summary offence charge based on S155 Breach of the Sale of Liquor Act 1989, 而忽略了LLA hearing. 一个是刑事罪，另一个是你自己的酒牌申请application. 不过您还是需要确定一下法庭是否有起诉你关于卖liquor 给未成年的罪名。

如果您需要安排帮助出席hearing 辩论是否可以获得酒牌的话，建议和我们直接联系吧。（我们事务所是LS所说的barristers,专职诉讼律师，有能力代理您案件的）
