Locals at Le Hocq Inn will have to find somewhere else to drink for the next month, as the pub has lost its licence until 19 June.
Announcing the judgment this morning, the Bailiff, Sir Philip Bailhache, said: ‘The licensee was guilty of gross breaches of its obligations.
It appointed a manager who was at that time unable to properly fulfil the responsibilities of the post.
‘It allowed an inexperienced and incompetent barman to exercise sole responsibility for a public bar on a busy night.
‘It had in place no adequate system for the training of its employees as to their respective duties and functions under the Licensing Law.
Finally, it served alcohol to an individual who was drunk and who was later responsible for serious injury to a third party.
We cannot condone such conduct.’
