The appellant requested a reconsideration of a Licence Appeal Tribunal decision that upheld the Registrar's refusal to issue a security guard agency licence.

The appellant argued the Tribunal made errors of fact and law by adopting the Registrar's findings regarding corporate control, and breached procedural fairness by rejecting sworn affidavits.

The Tribunal dismissed the request, finding that it had properly reviewed the Registrar's factual findings for reasonableness and had not committed any material breach of procedural fairness.

The appellant appealed the Registrar's decision to refuse its application for a security guard agency licence.

The Registrar refused the licence based on the involvement of the director's son, who was deemed an 'interested person' with a history of operating a noncompliant and bankrupt security agency.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the Registrar's conclusion that the son was an interested person to be reasonable and supported by evidence.

The Tribunal also dismissed the appellant's claims of procedural unfairness and reasonable apprehension of bias, confirming the Registrar's decision to refuse the licence.
