The appellant appealed a proposal by the Registrar to refuse his application for a real estate sales licence.
His previous licence was revoked in 2014 due to extensive debts, unpaid fines, and disciplinary issues.
While the Tribunal found the appellant was eligible to reapply because the required time had passed and he presented new evidence, it ultimately concluded he was unfit for registration.
The Tribunal held that the appellant's worsening financial position demonstrated he could not be expected to be financially responsible, and his past conduct provided reasonable grounds to believe he would not act in accordance with the law, integrity, or honesty.
The Registrar's proposal to refuse registration was confirmed.
