Sunday Liquor Sales Became Law On Dec 24
The Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs Mark Pettingill clarified that the sale of liquor on Sundays became law on Tuesday, December 24, 2013 when it was assented to by Governor George Fergusson.
A statement from the Ministry said, “Current holders of Licence A liquor licences do not need further permission from the Bermuda Liquor Licensing Authority to sell liquor on Sundays.
“The only case in which a Licence A holder would be required to seek further permission from the Liquor Licensing Authority would be if their licence expressly states limitations as to permitted hours.”
