Liquor Licensing

The Liquor Licensing Ordinance, 2006 came into effect on 6 February 2006 and replaced the previous Liquor Licensing Ordinance dating from 1993. The 2006 Ordinance is designed to place tighter controls over licensees and/or their nominated designated official, and hence the running of liquor licences generally. Five categories of licence existed under the 1993 Ordinance and ten categories now exist under the 2006 Ordinance. The categories defined in the 2006 Ordinance are as follows:

Category A, Standard Licence;
Category B, Residential Licence;
Category C, Hotel Licence;
Category D, Club Licence (private members);
Category E, Nightclub Licence;
Category F, Port Licence (on sales);
