The appellant motor vehicle dealer appealed a Notice of Proposal to Refuse Registration issued by the Registrar.
The Registrar alleged the appellant breached registration conditions by failing to disclose material facts on Bills of Sale, offering unsupported warranties, and failing to provide a required Letter of Credit.
Furthermore, the Registrar alleged the appellant continued to trade in motor vehicles after its registration expired.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the Registrar met its onus, noting compelling evidence that the appellant's sole director continued to sell vehicles while unregistered despite warnings.
The Tribunal confirmed the Registrar's decision to refuse registration, finding that the appellant's conduct afforded reasonable grounds to believe the business would not be carried on in accordance with the law.
