Commercial driver's licence downgrade set aside; Tribunal found applicant's seizure disorder did not warrant five-year suspension.
The Applicant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to downgrade his commercial driver's licence following two episodes of loss of consciousness.
The Registrar relied on a Medical Advisory Committee recommendation requiring a five-year seizure-free period based on a diagnosis of post-traumatic epilepsy.
The Tribunal found that the Applicant suffered from a seizure disorder secondary to a remote head injury, not epilepsy, and that he had been seizure-free and compliant with medication.
The Tribunal concluded the Applicant did not suffer from a condition likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely and set aside the Registrar's decision, ordering annual medical reporting.
