OLATOntario Licence Appeal TribunalJan 6, 2017

Vehicle impoundment appeal dismissed as appellant had access to an alternative vehicle, precluding exceptional hardship.

The appellant appealed the 45-day impoundment of his motor vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act, arguing exceptional hardship.

The appellant had loaned the vehicle to a neighbour whose driver's licence was suspended.

The appellant claimed financial hardship due to impoundment fees, as he lived on a pension.

The Tribunal found that the appellant had access to his wife's vehicle as an alternative, and therefore could not consider financial loss under O. Reg. 631/98.

The appeal was dismissed and the impoundment confirmed.
