Sham Travel Ltd. v. Registrar, Travel Industry Act 2002, 2012 CanLII 93961

Tribunal directs Registrar to grant motor vehicle dealer registrations despite applicant's failure to disclose personal debt.

The Registrar issued a Notice of Proposal to revoke the registration of Lifetime General as a motor vehicle dealer and to refuse registration to LTG Auto Sales Ltd. and Ahmed Salami as a salesperson, citing financial irresponsibility and failure to disclose a personal judgment.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant's personal debt and inadvertent failure to disclose did not afford reasonable grounds to believe he would not carry on business with integrity and honesty.

The Tribunal directed the Registrar to grant and continue the registrations subject to terms and conditions, including mandatory disclosure and completion of a certification course.

Motion for extension of time to appeal vehicle impoundment dismissed due to applicant's failure to attend.

The applicant brought a motion for an extension of time to appeal the impoundment of her vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act.

The applicant failed to attend the teleconference hearing despite being notified.

The Tribunal considered the four factors for an extension of time and found that the applicant failed to demonstrate a bona fide intention to appeal or explain the delay.

Given the applicant's failure to participate and the fact that she was driving while suspended at the time of impoundment, the Tribunal dismissed the motion.

Salesperson's registration retained despite criminal conviction for marijuana production, subject to reporting conditions.

The applicant, a registered motor vehicle salesperson, appealed a Notice of Proposal by the Registrar to revoke his registration.

The proposal was based on the applicant's criminal conviction for producing a controlled substance (a marijuana grow operation) and his subsequent conditional sentence.

The Registrar argued this conduct afforded reasonable grounds to believe the applicant would not carry on business with honesty and integrity.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the conduct was out of character, the applicant had strong support from his employers, and he had expressed genuine remorse.

The Tribunal directed the Registrar not to carry out the proposal, allowing the applicant to retain his registration subject to conditions requiring him to report any future charges.

Motion to extend time to appeal Tarion decision dismissed due to prior binding settlement and release.

The applicants brought a motion for an extension of time to appeal a decision letter from Tarion Warranty Corporation regarding new home warranty claims.

The parties had previously executed a settlement agreement and release in December 2010 covering the claims at issue.

Applying the four-factor test for extending time, the Tribunal found the delay was unexplained, the respondent would be prejudiced by reopening settled claims, and the appeal lacked merit due to the binding release.

The motion was dismissed and costs of $400 were awarded to the respondent.

Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to hear appeal of driver's licence suspension under s. 32(5)(b)(ii) of the Highway Traffic Act.

The applicant appealed a decision by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to suspend his driver's licence due to his visual field not meeting minimum requirements under section 32(5)(b)(ii) of the Highway Traffic Act.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal held a hearing to determine if it had jurisdiction to hear the appeal.

The Tribunal found that under section 50 of the Act and the applicable regulations, it only has jurisdiction to hear appeals from decisions made under sub-clause 32(5)(b)(i), not sub-clause (ii).

Consequently, the Tribunal ruled it had no jurisdiction and dismissed the appeal as a nullity.

The Registrar's motion for costs was also refused, as the Tribunal found the self-represented applicant did not act frivolously or vexatiously in pursuing the appeal.

Liquor licence for outdoor patio approved with conditions despite neighbourhood objections regarding noise and safety.

The applicant sought a liquor licence for an additional outdoor patio area.

Local residents objected, citing concerns about noise, public drunkenness, and safety in the adjacent parkette.

The Tribunal found that the objectors did not meet the onus to prove that issuing the licence was not in the public interest, as the evidence of disorderly conduct could not be directly attributed to the applicant's patrons.

The Tribunal approved the application subject to several conditions, including restricted hours, noise controls, and cleanliness requirements, to mitigate the impact on the neighbourhood.

Vehicle impoundment upheld; verbal agreement not to drive insufficient for due diligence.

The applicant appealed the 45-day impoundment of her vehicle after her husband was caught driving it with a suspended licence.

She argued that she exercised due diligence by having a verbal agreement with him not to drive, and that the impoundment caused exceptional hardship because the vehicle was used for a mobile car repair business.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the applicant took no positive steps to prevent her husband from accessing the keys, and that there was insufficient evidence to prove the impoundment would cause immediate, significant, and lasting financial loss.

Monetary penalty for permitting drunkenness set aside due to extenuating circumstances involving off-duty employee's safety.

The Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming imposed a monetary penalty on the applicant licensee for allegedly permitting drunkenness on its premises, contrary to s. 45(1) of Ontario Regulation 719/90.

An off-duty employee arrived at the establishment in an intoxicated state and was permitted entry by the owner on the condition that she wait in the staffroom for a ride home, out of concern for her safety.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that, given the extenuating circumstances and the licensee's obligations, the licensee did not 'permit drunkenness' within the meaning of the legislation.

The allegation was dismissed and the monetary penalty was set aside.

Salesperson's registration retained despite criminal conviction for marijuana production, subject to reporting conditions.

The applicant, a registered motor vehicle salesperson, appealed a Notice of Proposal by the Registrar to revoke his registration.

The proposal was based on the applicant's criminal conviction for producing a controlled substance (a marijuana grow operation) and his subsequent conditional sentence.

The Registrar argued this conduct afforded reasonable grounds to believe the applicant would not carry on business with honesty and integrity.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the conduct was out of character, the applicant had strong support from his employers, and he had expressed genuine remorse.

The Tribunal directed the Registrar not to carry out the proposal, allowing the applicant to retain his registration subject to conditions requiring him to report any future charges.

Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to hear appeal of driver's licence suspension under s. 32(5)(b)(ii) of the Highway Traffic Act.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal held a hearing to determine if it had jurisdiction to hear the appeal.

The Tribunal found that under section 50 of the Act and the applicable regulations, it only has jurisdiction to hear appeals from decisions made under sub-clause 32(5)(b)(i), not sub-clause (ii).

Consequently, the Tribunal ruled it had no jurisdiction and dismissed the appeal as a nullity.

The Registrar's motion for costs was also refused, as the Tribunal found the self-represented applicant did not act frivolously or vexatiously in pursuing the appeal.
