The Registrar of Motor Vehicle Dealers appealed a decision of the Ontario Licence Appeal Tribunal, which ordered the Registrar to grant a registration with conditions to the respondent.
The issue was whether the Tribunal applied the proper test in determining whether the Registrar's proposal to revoke registration should be carried out.
The Divisional Court found that the Tribunal correctly identified and applied the test from Brenner v. Ontario, which asks whether past conduct affords reasonable grounds for belief that the applicant will not carry on business in accordance with law and with integrity and honesty.
The court held that it could not interfere with the Tribunal's exercise of discretion unless it was clearly wrong, and dismissed the appeal.
