Vehicle impoundment confirmed; appellant failed to prove vehicle was stolen or exceptional hardship.
The appellant's snow removal vehicle was impounded for 45 days after an employee was caught driving it with a suspended licence.
The appellant appealed the impoundment under the Highway Traffic Act, arguing the vehicle was stolen and its loss would cause exceptional hardship.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the employee had implied consent to use the vehicle and the appellant failed to prove that operating with reduced capacity posed a threat to public safety or caused significant financial loss.
Fire Safety Commission largely upholds inspection orders requiring smoke alarms, fire safety plan, and Fire Code remediations at recovery centre.
The appellant, operating an addiction recovery centre, appealed four inspection orders issued by the respondent fire department.
The orders required the installation of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, the submission of a fire safety plan, and the remediation of various Fire Code contraventions including damaged fire separations and obstructed means of egress.
The Fire Safety Commission confirmed the requirement for smoke alarms and a fire safety plan, finding them necessary to ensure fire safety regardless of the building's specific occupancy designation.
The Commission also confirmed most of the Fire Code remediation measures, but rescinded the requirement for a carbon monoxide detector and a metal dryer vent, and amended certain measures relating to fire separations and egress obstructions.
