Motor vehicle dealer registrations revoked due to forged signatures and repeated failure to disclose convictions.
The appellants appealed a Notice of Proposal by the Registrar to revoke their registrations as motor vehicle dealers and salespersons, and to refuse a new corporate registration.
The Registrar's proposal was based on the business manager forging signatures on bills of sale and the principal's repeated failure to disclose an Environmental Protection Act conviction on renewal applications.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the principal's past conduct, including his failure to provide adequate oversight, his disregard for employment restrictions placed on the business manager, and his repeated false statements to the regulator, afforded reasonable grounds to believe the appellants would not carry on business in accordance with the law and with integrity and honesty.
The appeal was dismissed and the Registrar was directed to carry out the proposal.
