Absent Browns forfeit liquor licence so their chef can open
Thursday 23rd December 2010, 2:29PM GMT.
Paddy Scally's liquor licence was activated by the Royal Court yesterday.
A COURT order was made yesterday for a co-proprietor of the former Brown’s Restaurant to forfeit her liquor licence.
Dana and Mel Brown, who ran the business at 15, Mansell Street, left the island last year with debts estimated to be in the region of £60,000.
The Ordinary Division of the Royal Court yesterday granted the application from the Law Officers in the couple’s absence.
Last week, the court granted a liquor licence to the restaurant’s former head chef, Paddy Scally, who wanted to open the newly-named Old Quarter Restaurant in the same premises.
But Mr Scally’s licence could not be activated until Mrs Brown’s had been forfeited, which was preventing him from trading.
