Constantine Petrou, M.D.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend her driver's licence on medical grounds following a report indicating a substance use disorder and a psychiatric condition.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant's bipolar disorder was stable and that she did not have an active substance use disorder that would significantly interfere with her ability to drive safely.

The Tribunal set aside the Registrar's decision and ordered the reinstatement of the appellant's licence.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence on medical grounds.

The Registrar suspended the licence after receiving reports from three physicians indicating the appellant suffered from cognitive impairment following a hospitalization.

The Registrar required a satisfactory functional driving assessment for reinstatement, which the appellant had not completed.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal confirmed the suspension, finding that the available medical information supported the conclusion that the appellant had a medical condition likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely, and that a functional driving assessment was necessary before reinstatement.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence on medical grounds following a sudden loss of consciousness caused by ventricular tachycardia.

The Registrar required a six-month symptom-free period and confirmation that the appellant's implantable cardioverter defibrillator had not delivered therapy before considering reinstatement.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant's condition was likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely and that the Registrar's decision was consistent with the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators' Medical Standards for Drivers.

The appeal was dismissed and the suspension confirmed.
