CVOR certificates cancelled due to chronic non-compliance, poor safety records, and multiple fatal collisions.
The appellants appealed a Notice of Cancellation and Seizure issued by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles proposing to cancel their Commercial Vehicle Operator Registration (CVOR) certificates.
The Registrar's proposal was based on the appellants' poor safety records, which included multiple interventions, high violation rates, and four fatal collisions involving their drivers.
The Tribunal found that the two appellant companies were operating as a single entity under two CVOR certificates, undermining the monitoring system.
Despite recent improvements following the retention of a safety consultant, the Tribunal concluded that the appellants' long history of chronic non-compliance and failure to implement safety measures until threatened with cancellation provided reason to believe they would not operate commercial vehicles safely.
The appeal was dismissed, and the Registrar was directed to carry out the cancellation and seizure.
