Liquor Control Reform Act 1998 - SECT 3B

Where supply occurs if off-premises request made

3B. Where supply occurs if off-premises request made

For the purposes of this Act, if liquor is provided to a person who was not on
licensed premises at the time the person ordered the liquor, the supply of the
liquor to the person occurs at the place where the liquor provided was
appropriated to the person's order. Examples 1. A customer sits down at a
kerb-side table of premises operated by the holder of a general licence. She
orders a glass of wine. The waiter takes the order to the bar, where a glass
is filled. The waiter then takes the glass to the customer. In this scenario
the wine in the glass is supplied to the customer at the bar because that is
where it was appropriated to the customer's order. 2. A customer orders the
home delivery of a carton of beer by phone from the manager of premises
licensed to supply liquor for consumption off the premises. The customer pays
for the beer by providing his credit card details over the phone. The manager
selects the beer from the fridge, and a staff member delivers the beer to the
customer's house. In this scenario the beer is supplied to the customer at the
fridge because that is where it was appropriated to the customer's order.
