BACKGROUND
1Rohan Narang (the “Appellant”) appeals from a Notice of Proposal to refuse registration as a motor vehicle salesperson (“NOP”) issued by the Registrar under the Act, the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (“OMVIC”), (the “Registrar”).
2The NOP alleges that the Appellant’s past conduct disentitles him to registration as a motor vehicle salesperson and that the appellant made a false statement in his application for registration.
3The parties advised the Tribunal that they had resolved the issues in dispute and both parties have consented to the registration of the appellant as a motor vehicle salesperson under the Act on the terms and conditions set out in Terms and Conditions between the Appellant and the Registrar signed by the Appellant on February 10, 2025 and by the Registrar on February 11, 2025. The Terms and Conditions shall constitute Schedule A.
4Further, both parties confirmed that pursuant to section 4.1 of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. S 2 (the “SPPA”), both parties waive the requirements of a hearing and consent to an Order of the Tribunal to confirm the appellants’ registration on the Terms and Conditions set out on Schedule A. A copy of the agreements signed by all parties is attached as Schedule A to this Order.
ON CONSENT OF BOTH PARTIES, I ORDER:
5Pursuant to s. 4.1 of the SPPA and on the consent of the parties, I dispose of this proceeding without a hearing on the Terms and Conditions set out in the agreement signed by the Appellant on February 10, 2025 and by the Registrar on February 11, 2025, a copy of which is attached to this order as Schedule A, which Schedule A is incorporated and made part of this Order.
