sec.14 Nominees
The chief executive may approve an application under section 13 only if— for a wine producer licence—the nominated person is a suitable person to be a nominee; and for a wine merchant licence—the nominated person is a suitable person to be a nominee and there will not be more than 1 nominee for the licence. The decision whether an adult is a suitable person to be a nominee must be made in the same way as the decision whether a person is a suitable person to hold a licence. See sections 9 and 10 . A person approved as a nominee— is responsible for ensuring that wine is sold on the licensed premises only as authorised by the licence; and is subject to the obligations imposed by this Act on the licensee; and is liable as a licensee for an offence against, or any failure to perform obligations imposed by, this Act. A nominee’s liability for an offence under this Act does not affect the liability of the licensee for the offence. s 14 amd 2001 No. 40 s 11 (sec.14-ssec.1) The chief executive may approve an application under section 13 only if— for a wine producer licence—the nominated person is a suitable person to be a nominee; and for a wine merchant licence—the nominated person is a suitable person to be a nominee and there will not be more than 1 nominee for the licence.
