The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence following a medical report of a seizure.

The appellant argued that his seizures are preceded by a consistent aura that provides several hours of warning, allowing him to avoid driving.

The Tribunal found that the appellant demonstrated the capacity to recognize his pre-seizure symptoms and voluntarily stop driving, as evidenced by his actions on the day of the seizure.

The Tribunal concluded that the appellant's condition does not 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 his Class 'G' driver's licence due to a medical condition.

The appellant's family doctor submitted a Medical Condition Report indicating possible multiple sclerosis based on MRI findings.

The appellant disputed the diagnosis and declined medication, but failed to provide the required follow-up medical forms confirming his fitness to drive.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal confirmed the suspension, finding that the appellant suffers from a neurological condition that is likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely, and that further medical information is required to prove otherwise.

The appellant appealed the suspension of his Class 'G' driver's licence by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles.

The suspension followed a Medical Condition Report filed by an emergency room physician after the appellant experienced a severe hypoglycaemic episode at work.

The appellant argued that he had changed jobs to avoid irregular shifts and had never experienced hypoglycaemia while driving.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant's condition was likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely.

The Tribunal upheld the suspension, agreeing with the Registrar that a 6-month period of stability, as recommended by the CCMTA Medical Standards for Drivers, was required before reinstating the licence.

The Appellant appealed a 90-day administrative driver's licence suspension imposed after he refused to provide a breath sample.

The Appellant argued he was unable to comply with the breath demand due to his diabetes and requested a blood test instead.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the police had reasonable grounds to make the demand and that the Appellant failed to establish a valid medical reason for his refusal.

The medical documentation provided was incomplete and did not support his claim.

The Tribunal confirmed the suspension.

The appellant appealed a decision of the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to suspend her driver's licence due to a medical report indicating uncontrolled narcolepsy.

The appellant argued that her sleep issues were caused by medication timing and that she had not experienced a sleep attack since October 2013.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal confirmed the Registrar's decision, finding that the CCMTA medical standards require a 12-month period of stability without daytime sleep attacks before a suspension can be lifted.
