DARWIN pub could face legal action for contributing to "drunken mayhem" in the city, an inquest has heard.
Adam Francis Chandler, 20, had been drinking with a group of friends at the Victoria Hotel until it closed on August 13 last year. After, while on his way to Uncle Sam's on Smith St, a 20kg pot plant was dropped on his abdomen. The four young men had been wrestling, and were soon after taken into police protective custody. Mr Chandler - who was studying to be a PE teacher - was seriously injured, but no one realised and he died from internal bleeding in Royal Darwin Hospital about 8pm on August 13. A coronial inquest into his death finished in Darwin yesterday, and counsel assisting the coroner Tony Young, SC told the inquest that the Victoria Hotel's continued service of alcohol to the group of men had "led to the death of a young man". "This is the cost of having alcohol freely available in our city," Mr Young said. "The fact is, this is another example of what we know is a common occurrence: drunken mayhem in the city of Darwin." Mr Young asked that Coroner Greg Cavanagh recommend that Director of Public Prosecutions decide whether the Victoria Hotel has breached the Liquor Act by continuing to serve the men.
I enrolled with tripidation to do my RSA online as I do not have great pc skills. I certainly didn' t have to worry, it was easy for me to complete, just read and clicked. Also the online assistance was very helpful and friendly and they even emailed me over the weekend. I now have the confidence to do my food safety online.
