| Résumé : |
Legal background:
The Sale of Liquor Amendment Act 1999 introduced a number of major changes that came into effect on 1 December 1999 concerning the minimum age that people may legally drink alcohol. Firstly, the legal minimum drinking age was lowered from 20 years to 18 years with one exception. Secondly, some offences involving minors became infringement offences where the person may either be prosecuted through the court system, or an infringement notice may be issued. A definition of 'evidence of age documents' was also introduced. |
