Driver's licence suspension set aside as appellant's managed alcohol dependence did not significantly impair driving ability.
The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence due to a medical report indicating substance use disorder (alcohol).
The appellant admitted to a relapse but demonstrated ongoing commitment to rehabilitation, including voluntary residence at a treatment facility, abstinence, and regular testing.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant's alcohol dependence was being effectively managed and was not likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely.
The appeal was allowed and the licence suspension was set aside.
