ORDER

1The appellant, Rebels Roadside Services Inc., is a towing company and holds a Commercial Vehicle Operator Registration (“CVOR”) certificate which allows it to operate commercial vehicles on public roads.

2On November 5, 2020, the Registrar issued a Cancellation and Seizure Order (“Order”) cancelling the CVOR certificate and plate portions of permits, and to seize the plate portion of permits and number plates for all commercial motor vehicles registered to the appellant. The Registrar’s proposal is based on the allegation that the Registrar has reason to believe that the appellants will not operate commercial vehicles safely or in accordance with the Act, the regulations and other laws relating to highway safety under s. 47(1)(f) of the Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H. 8 (the “Act”).

3The appellant appealed the Order to the Tribunal pursuant to s. 50(1) of the Act and the Tribunal scheduled a hearing for today, January 12, 2022 at 9:30 a.m.

4At the outset of the hearing the parties settled all outstanding issues between them. The appellant withdrew its appeal. The Tribunal’s file is now closed.
