The Registrar proposed to revoke the respondents' motor vehicle dealer registrations.
The respondents requested a hearing but reached a settlement before it occurred, resulting in a consent order that stated the Registrar could automatically revoke the registrations if the respondents breached the order.
When the Registrar later purported to revoke the registrations without a hearing for alleged breaches, the respondents successfully applied for judicial review.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the Registrar's appeal, holding that the consent order concluded the original proceedings and the respondents could not validly waive their right to a future hearing.
The automatic revocation provision was an improper delegation of authority and fettered the Tribunal's discretion.
