Sale and supply of alcohol generally - Offences and closure of premises - Other offences on licensed premises

256: Allowing people on licensed premises outside licensing hours

You could also call this:

"Rules for letting people stay in alcohol-selling places outside of allowed hours"

If you are in charge of a place that sells alcohol, you must follow the rules. You cannot let people stay on the premises when they are not supposed to be there, as stated in section 255. If you break this rule, you can get in trouble.

If you break this rule, you can be fined up to $10,000. This is what happens if you are found guilty of letting people stay on the premises when they are not allowed to be there. You will have to pay the fine as a penalty.
