The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his Class G driver's licence for medical reasons, specifically cognitive impairment.

The suspension was based on an unsolicited Medical Condition Report from the appellant's treating neurologist, who diagnosed mild cognitive impairment and recommended an on-road functional driving assessment.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant suffers from a cognitive impairment that is likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely.

Applying the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators Medical Standards for Drivers, the Tribunal confirmed the suspension until the appellant completes the recommended functional driving assessment.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence for medical reasons, specifically alcohol use disorder and a seizure due to alcohol withdrawal.

The Tribunal concluded that the conditions were not likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely and set aside the Registrar's decision.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend her driver's licence for medical reasons, specifically a substance use disorder.

The suspension was based on a substance use assessment from her family physician noting elevated levels and opioid use.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the appellant's testimony and a letter from her addictions physician persuasive, establishing that she had abstained from alcohol since 2017 and that the elevated levels were due to over-the-counter medication for sciatica.

The Tribunal concluded the appellant does not suffer from a substance use disorder and set aside the licence suspension.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend their driver's licence due to a suspected medical condition (ADHD).

The Registrar relied on a Cognitive Disorder Form from the appellant's treating physician, which noted a suspicion of ADHD but explicitly stated there were no concerns about the appellant's driving ability.

The Tribunal found that the Registrar failed to establish on a balance of probabilities that the appellant suffered from ADHD or any medical condition that would significantly interfere with their ability to drive safely.

The appeal was allowed and the licence suspension was set aside.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence for medical reasons following a single-vehicle accident.

The Tribunal noted the appellant's successful completion of an inpatient rehabilitation program, ongoing medical monitoring, strict workplace testing, and a supportive letter from his nurse practitioner.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend her Class B driver's licence due to alleged cognitive impairment, seizures, diabetes, and hypertension.

The Registrar withdrew the cognitive impairment ground at the hearing.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that while the appellant had a history of a provoked seizure following an aneurysm, as well as diabetes and hypertension, the medical evidence demonstrated these conditions were well-controlled and did not significantly interfere with her ability to drive safely.

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

The appellant requested a reconsideration of a Tribunal decision that confirmed the Registrar's suspension of her driver's licence.

The appellant argued that the Tribunal failed to consider a medical report and that her functional driving assessment was conducted during a severe snowstorm, denying her procedural fairness.

The Tribunal dismissed the request, finding that while the medical report was considered, the appellant had also failed her driving assessment, which was an independent requirement for reinstatement.

The Tribunal further held it lacked jurisdiction to order a new driving assessment due to weather conditions.

The appellant appealed the downgrade of his commercial driver's licence to a Class-G licence following a single nocturnal seizure.

The respondent argued the appellant suffered from epilepsy and required a five-year seizure-free period under the CCMTA Guidelines.

The Tribunal found that the seizure was provoked by rapid weight loss, supplements, and an inadequate CPAP prescription, rather than epilepsy.

As the provoking factors had resolved, the Tribunal concluded the appellant did not have a medical condition likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive a commercial vehicle safely and set aside the licence downgrade.
