Shame ... we would need a drone :-) On 8/22/15 7:14 PM, Jenny Calder wrote: Thanks Carolyn, if possible when you see it open again please take a photograph.  But only if you can, don't put yourself at risk.  Const. Berry has informed the shift captain.  And as far as I know he has also informed the shift staff.  They (Mezani) are probably going to make it as difficult as possible so we need to record all instances of them defying the law.  Please keep reporting.

The date for the Section 20 hearing has not been established yet. It is expected that Daniel Lossy, the liquor licence holder, will be declared unfit to hold a licence after that hearing, unless his lawyers pressurise the Tribunal into disregarding the interests of the community.  If Mezani trades at any time over the next few months, it will be in defiance of the Liquor Tribunal's ruling. If anyone sees them open, please take a picture with your cell phone so that it can be submitted to the LA, who will use it as further evidence in the upcoming Section 20 hearing. Mark, together with const. Chadwick Adams, has done months of grueling police work to build a case before the Liquor Tribunal that Mezani was in the grips of a destructive drug trade. The work involved confronting dangerous and aggressive criminals, conducting numerous drug raids and reacting to some hectic complaints, including a horrible rape at the premises, and continuously suffering vile abuse from the defiant management and drug dealers at Mezani -- most of this while we were sleeping. The work also involved hours of paperwork to convince the Liquor Authority that Mezani was a problem.  Thank you Const Berry and Adams!
