The appellant's driver's licence was suspended by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles following a medical condition report indicating substance use disorder and a psychiatric illness.

The appellant appealed the suspension.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant did not suffer from a psychiatric disorder, but did suffer from moderate alcohol use disorder.

However, the Tribunal concluded that the Registrar failed to establish that the appellant's alcohol use disorder was likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely, nor was there evidence that he was addicted to alcohol.

The Tribunal set aside the Registrar's decision to suspend the licence.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend her driver's licence for medical reasons under section 47(1) of the Highway Traffic Act.

The suspension followed a Medical Condition Report submitted after the appellant suffered a generalized seizure during a sleep-deprived EEG.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant suffers from an epilepsy/seizure disorder that is likely to significantly interfere with her ability to drive safely, noting her lack of insight into the condition, ongoing medication side effects, and the absence of therapeutic drug level monitoring.

The appeal was dismissed and the licence suspension was confirmed.

The appellant appealed the Minister of Transportation's decision to downgrade his commercial driver's licence to a class G licence following a medical report of a seizure.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant suffered from cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), which provoked the seizure.

Applying the CCMTA Medical Standards for Drivers, the Tribunal determined that the appellant's condition had not stabilized, resolved, or been corrected, and posed a significant risk of sudden incapacitation.

The Tribunal confirmed the Minister's decision to change the licence class.

The appellant appealed the suspension of his driver's licence by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles for medical reasons.

The suspension followed reports from the appellant's family doctor and a failed functional driving assessment.

The Tribunal found that while the appellant's osteoarthritis of the cervical spine did not significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely, his cognitive impairment did.

The Tribunal preferred the results of the in-class cognitive testing and on-road functional assessment over the family doctor's in-office cognitive test.

The Tribunal concluded that the appellant's cognitive impairment was likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely and confirmed the licence suspension.

The appellant appealed the Minister of Transportation's decision to downgrade his commercial driver's licence to a class 'G' licence due to a cardiovascular condition.

The appellant had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and a left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 35%.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant's cardiovascular conditions, individually and in combination, posed a significant risk of episodic impairment or sudden incapacitation.

The Tribunal confirmed the Minister's decision to change the class of the appellant's driver's licence.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence for medical reasons under section 47(1) of the Highway Traffic Act.

The suspension followed a roadside investigation and subsequent medical reports citing alcohol dependence and potential seizures.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal reviewed the medical evidence and found that the appellant did not suffer from a seizure disorder, sleep disorder, or other substance use disorder, but did suffer from mild-moderate alcohol use disorder.

Given the appellant's history of driving after consuming alcohol and lack of insight, the Tribunal concluded this condition was likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely.

The suspension was confirmed.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend her driver's licence under s. 47(1) of the Highway Traffic Act following a Medical Condition Report.

The Tribunal found that the appellant suffers from a mental health disorder, specifically paranoid delusions, and lacks insight into her condition.

Relying on medical evidence and the CCMTA Standards, the Tribunal concluded that the disorder is likely to significantly interfere with her ability to drive safely.

The suspension was confirmed.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence under section 47(1) of the Highway Traffic Act following a drug overdose.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant suffers from a substance use disorder, evidenced by his continued use of opioids, stimulants, and hallucinogens, and his lack of insight into his condition.

The Tribunal concluded that the appellant's substance use disorder is likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely.

The Registrar's decision to suspend the licence was confirmed.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence under section 47(1) of the Highway Traffic Act.

The suspension followed two incidents of erratic driving where the appellant admitted to smoking heroin prior to driving.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant suffered from a heroin addiction that significantly interfered with his ability to drive safely, noting his short period of abstinence, lack of remorse, and history of driving after drug use.

The Tribunal confirmed the Registrar's decision to suspend the licence.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his class B driver's licence due to medical concerns regarding his type 2 diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and a toe amputation.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that while the peripheral vascular disease and toe amputation did not significantly interfere with his ability to drive, his diabetes remained inadequately controlled.

The appellant failed to provide requested medical information, experienced recent hypoglycemic episodes, and was not fully compliant with his physician's instructions regarding blood glucose monitoring.

The Tribunal confirmed the Registrar's decision to maintain the licence suspension.

The appellant's driver's licence was suspended after an emergency room doctor submitted a medical condition report noting alcohol dependence.

The appellant appealed the suspension, arguing he had completed an alcohol treatment program and maintained abstinence.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant had taken positive steps to combat his alcohol dependence, including completing a rehabilitation program and maintaining four months of abstinence.

The Tribunal concluded the respondent failed to prove the appellant suffered from alcohol dependence to a degree likely to affect his ability to drive safely, and set aside the licence suspension.
