Waxy O'Connor's has a new public hearing date of May 17 at 7:05 p.m to address more alleged liquor license and overcrowding violations brought against them.
Patch.com reports that Foxborough Board of Selectmen were taken aback last week when Waxy O'Connor's failed to show up for their scheduled liquor violations hearing.
Foxborough Town Manager, Kevin Paicos, presented selectmen with a notice received April 11, from Waxy O'Connor's attorney requesting a continuation of the public hearing due to a scheduling conflict.
Pacios, however, advised the board to continue the hearing at a later date for the reason being that if they had the hearing absent the accused party and their counsel then the opposed sanctions on Waxy's by the board may not be ruled a "flawless" decision by the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC).
"The board has the right to continue with the hearing without the presence of Waxy's management and legal counsel, however if Waxy's chooses to appeal any opposed sanctions by the board to the ABCC, then the board's record could be considered flawed," said Paicos.
Paicos went onto say that "the ABCC could rule on the basis that the defendants (Waxy's) were not present at the time the decisions were made while taking into account that this is Waxy's first request for a continuance of a hearing."
