Appeal for real estate registration dismissed; personal rehabilitation insufficient to prove material change in circumstances.
The appellant appealed the Registrar's Notice of Proposal to refuse his registration as a real estate salesperson.
His previous registration was revoked in 2014 due to professional misconduct.
Under section 17 of the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002, the appellant was required to demonstrate a material change in circumstances to reapply.
While the Tribunal accepted evidence from the appellant's family and a psychologist that he had made positive personal and lifestyle changes, it found this insufficient to prove he could transfer these changes to a high-pressure real estate work environment.
The appeal was dismissed and the Registrar was directed to carry out the proposal to refuse registration.
