The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his class G driver's licence for medical reasons under s. 47(1) of the Highway Traffic Act.

The suspension was triggered by a medical report indicating a mental health condition and a past suicide attempt, which was discovered when the appellant applied for a commercial licence.

The Tribunal found that while the appellant has a mental health condition, it is stable, well-managed with medication and therapy, and supported by his physician's recommendation for reinstatement.

The Tribunal concluded the condition is not likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely and set aside the suspension.
