Dr. Peter Savage, M.D.

The appellant appealed a 90-day administrative driver's licence suspension imposed under s. 48.3 of the Highway Traffic Act for refusing to provide a breath sample.

The appellant argued that he was not the individual to whom the demand was made, claiming mistaken identity under s. 50.1(2)(a)(i).

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the appellant admitted to being stopped, asked for a breath sample, and refusing it.

The police officer's testimony and documentary evidence further confirmed the appellant's identity.

The suspension was confirmed.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence due to a cognitive impairment.

The Registrar relied on medical reports indicating the appellant suffered from mild cognitive impairment and a functional driving assessment that demonstrated driving errors and a lack of driving skills suitable for rehabilitation.

The Tribunal found that the Registrar established on a balance of probabilities that the appellant's cognitive impairment is likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive a vehicle safely.

The appeal was dismissed and the licence suspension was confirmed.

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

The suspension was based on a Medical Condition Report from an emergency room physician indicating the appellant suffered from an uncontrolled alcohol use disorder.

The appellant denied having an alcohol dependence and argued the physician misunderstood him.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the appellant's oral testimony unconvincing and noted his failure to provide a Substance Use Assessment or other medical evidence to refute the physician's report.

The Tribunal concluded the appellant suffers from an alcohol use disorder that is likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely, and confirmed the licence suspension.

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence due to a medical condition.

The suspension was based on a Medical Condition Report submitted by a psychiatrist following the appellant's hospital visit for a situational emotional crisis.

The Tribunal found that the appellant's crisis was temporary and situational, and that he does not suffer from an ongoing psychiatric illness or medical condition likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely.

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

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

The suspension was based on medical reports indicating the appellant suffers from schizophrenia and moderate cognitive impairment.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant's medical condition, combined with his own admission of having a poor driving record, was likely to significantly interfere with his ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.

The Tribunal confirmed the Registrar's decision to suspend the licence, noting the appellant must complete a functional driving assessment and provide further psychiatric evaluation before reinstatement can be considered.

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 was initially based on reports of substance use and a psychiatric condition, but the Registrar later relied solely on the mental health condition, requiring a three-month period of stability.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant's condition, diagnosed as depression, was stable, well-managed with prescribed medication, and did not significantly interfere with her ability to drive safely.

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