The Registrar proposed to revoke the registrations of a motor vehicle dealer and its salesperson based on allegations of fraudulent vehicle registrations and breaches of prior consent orders.
The Tribunal found that the salesperson had improperly registered a vehicle using an invalid bill of sale, breaching the conditions of registration and providing reasonable grounds to believe business would not be carried on with integrity and honesty.
However, the Tribunal found this was an isolated incident and not a systematic abuse of the public.
The Tribunal directed the Registrar not to revoke the registrations, but instead to impose an eight-month suspension on the salesperson and attach strict conditions regarding liens and out-of-province vehicle registrations to the dealer's registration.
