The Registrar of Motor Vehicles cancelled the Appellant's Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration (CVOR) certificate, alleging the Appellant was related to two other companies whose CVORs were previously cancelled for poor safety records.
The Appellant appealed the cancellation.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the Appellant was indeed related to and controlled by the former CVOR holders, based on unorthodox financial arrangements, shared services, and common management activities.
However, given the Appellant's acceptable safety record during its brief period of operation, the Tribunal varied the Registrar's order, imposing strict conditions on the Appellant's CVOR rather than outright cancellation.
