The applicant appealed the impoundment of her motor vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act.
The vehicle was impounded after the applicant's son, a suspended driver, was caught driving it.
The applicant argued that the vehicle was stolen by her son without her knowledge or consent while she was out of town, and that she did not report it stolen to police to avoid extending his potential incarceration.
The Tribunal accepted the applicant's evidence that the vehicle was taken without consent and found that it was stolen at the time of impoundment.
The Tribunal ordered the Registrar to release the motor vehicle.
