  Licenses - A Few Reasons You May Need help

You can easily be put out of business by the City. If you do not handle your administrative appeals properly you may lose the opportunity to appeal to the courts. The City's powers are startling:

  The Council may grant, refuse, revoke, or suspend a license without stating any reason.
    The Chief Licence Inspector has the power at any time to summarily suspend any licence for any period if the holder of the licence is convicted of any offence or has , in the opinion of the Inspector, been guilty of gross misconduct with respect to the licensed premises.
    There is a right to a hearing before City Council.
