Hi KLair

I think it's probably best to contact the police to try and lessen the posibilty of a repeat offence (if this is happening often in that shop).

There IS a defence in Law though - it's one of a genuine belief that the minor was in fact over 18. But the burden is on the defence to prove that.

Have a look at this link for the full passage of the act.

Hope that helps.

Although your complain relates to a criminal offence, it's quite likely that the police won't be interested. Such matters are normally dealt with by Trading Standards (who have the power to bring a prosecution if deemed necessary). You can find the details of your local Trading Standards office by using the postcode search facility here:
