The Director of Vehicle Inspection Standards proposed to refuse the appellant's application to register a Motor Vehicle Inspection Station (MVIS) and to refuse her husband's registration as a Motor Vehicle Inspection Station Mechanic (MVIM).
The Director argued the appellant was merely resurrecting her husband's former business, which had numerous convictions for failing to submit required paperwork.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant would be the sole owner and manager of the new business and would handle all administrative duties, while her husband would only perform inspections.
The Tribunal directed the Director to refrain from carrying out the proposal and to issue the registrations, subject to a condition requiring quarterly reporting meetings for the first year.
