Under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, what does a duty manager's certificate authorise in NZ?
Answer: The holder to be in charge of licensed premises during the sale and supply of alcohol
A manager's certificate authorises the holder to act as the duty manager in charge of licensed premises during trading hours when alcohol is sold or supplied.
What must a duty manager in NZ do if they are going to be absent from the premises for more than a brief period?
Answer: Ensure another certified duty manager takes over responsibility
At all times when alcohol is sold or supplied, a certified duty manager must be present and responsible. If the duty manager needs to be absent for more than a brief period, another certified manager must take over.
Under NZ law, can a licensee appoint themselves as the duty manager of their own premises?
Answer: Yes, but only if they hold a current manager's certificate
A licensee can act as duty manager of their own premises provided they hold a current manager's certificate — holding a licence alone is not sufficient.
What is a 'temporary manager' appointment under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 in NZ?
Answer: A short-term appointment of a certified person pending a permanent manager's certificate application
A temporary manager is a person with a manager's certificate who is appointed on a short-term basis while the licensee arranges for a permanent appointment or while a certificate application is being processed.
Under NZ law, what is the duty manager's responsibility regarding the sale of alcohol close to the closing time on the licence?
Answer: They must stop selling alcohol at the licensed closing time but patrons may finish drinks already purchased for a reasonable period
Alcohol must not be sold after the licensed closing time. However, patrons who have already purchased drinks may finish them within a reasonable period after closing time.
What is the legal requirement in NZ regarding the display of a duty manager's name on licensed premises?
Answer: The licence must be displayed but there is no requirement to display the duty manager's name
Under the Act, the licence must be displayed in a prominent place, but there is no specific requirement to display the duty manager's name publicly, although good practice and some DLC conditions may require it.
