The applicants appealed a proposal by the Director of Vehicle Inspection Standards to revoke their Motor Vehicle Inspection Station (MVIS) Type 6 licence and mechanic registration.
The Director alleged the applicants issued Structural Inspection Certificates for vehicles that did not meet prescribed standards, submitted false insurance estimates, and failed to comply with regulations.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicants consistently failed to perform competent inspections, submitted fraudulent documents, and put unsafe vehicles on the road.
The Tribunal directed the Director to carry out the proposal to revoke the registrations.

The applicant applied for an enhanced A-Z driver's licence and submitted a medical report that was equivocal regarding his alcohol use.

The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding that the Registrar's requirement for additional information and subsequent licence suspension were not unreasonable.
Application for judicial review of transport board decision dismissed as not patently unreasonable.
The applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Ontario Highway Transport Board, which found that the respondent transport company was operating legally within the terms of its extra-provincial operating licence.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, holding that the Board's decision was protected by a privative clause and was not patently unreasonable, nor was there any breach of natural justice or jurisdictional error.
Judicial review dismissed; Registrar had authority to suspend driver's licence for refusing medical examination.

A medical practitioner had reported the applicant to the Registrar pursuant to section 203 of the Highway Traffic Act.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding that the Registrar had the authority under the Highway Traffic Act and Ontario Regulation 340/94 to require the medical examination and to suspend the licence for non-compliance.
Life insurance agent's licence suspension reduced to one week after new evidence of continuing education.
The appellant appealed a decision suspending his level II life insurance agent licence for 30 days for failing to complete the required 47.5 hours of continuing education and misrepresenting his hours on a renewal application.
The Financial Services Tribunal admitted new evidence showing the appellant had completed additional hours, reducing his shortfall.
The Tribunal upheld the finding that the appellant failed to complete the required hours during the relevant period but reduced the penalty to a one-week licence suspension.
Negotiable initial sales charges in variable insurance contracts do not constitute unfair discrimination under the Insurance Act.
The Superintendent of Financial Services issued a Prohibition Order against Transamerica, preventing the issuance of a variable insurance contract with a negotiable initial sales charge.
The Superintendent argued this feature could lead to unfair discrimination among insureds of the same class and expectation of life, violating the Insurance Act.
On appeal, the Financial Services Tribunal quashed the order, finding that differences in negotiated charges result from individual consumer choice and market competition, not from discriminatory acts by the insurer.
The Tribunal concluded the Prohibition Order was a disproportionate response to speculative harm and emphasized the need for full disclosure of the negotiable nature of the charges to consumers.
