The appellant appealed the 45-day impoundment of its commercial motor vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act after it was driven by an employee whose licence was suspended for life.
The appellant argued it exercised due diligence and that the impoundment caused exceptional hardship.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the appellant failed to verify the employee's licence despite knowing he might drive company vehicles, and that the business had alternatives available, precluding a finding of exceptional hardship.
