The appellant requested a hearing to address the Registrar's Notice of Proposal to revoke and an Order to immediately suspend its Crematorium Operator Licence.
At the initial teleconference hearing, the parties consented to extend the immediate suspension order until the conclusion of the hearing and discussed procedural matters.
The respondent argued that the Vice Chair who presided over the first day was seized of the matter and must continue as chair.
The Tribunal held that the Vice Chair was not seized of the appeal because no substantive evidence was presented and no substantive rulings were made that would impact the merits of the appeal.
The Tribunal issued a case management order setting dates for the continuation of the hearing and the exchange of documents.
