Driver's licence suspension set aside; mental health condition did not significantly interfere with safe driving.
The applicant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend her driver's licence under section 47(1) of the Highway Traffic Act due to a reported psychiatric condition.
The Ministry required a six-month period of stability following two hospital admissions.
The Tribunal found that the hospital admissions were prolonged due to the applicant's remote location and lack of local outpatient psychiatric care.
Medical evidence from her treating physician and psychiatrist supported her ability to drive safely.
The Tribunal concluded that her mental health issues did not significantly interfere with her ability to drive safely and set aside the Registrar's decision.
