Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The case concerned disciplinary sanctions against a restaurant operator. The court held that the suspension in the profession and the fine had to be reduced. It relied on the fact that the establishment had been divided into two, that the certificate holder was present on site, and that there was no intent of gain. The decision thus partially granted relief by mitigating both sanctions.
