Appeal dismissed; real estate salesperson registration refused due to false statements and misappropriation of funds.
The appellant appealed a Notice of Proposal by the Registrar to refuse his registration as a real estate salesperson.
The Registrar alleged the appellant made false statements on multiple registration applications regarding outstanding judgments, debts, and bankruptcies, and that he misappropriated commission funds owed to realtors employed by his former brokerage.
The Tribunal found that the appellant knowingly made false statements on his applications and that his past conduct, including the misappropriation of funds and failure to notify the Registrar of material changes, afforded reasonable grounds for belief that he would not carry on business with honesty and integrity.
The Tribunal directed the Registrar to carry out its proposal to refuse registration, finding that conditions would not sufficiently protect the public.
