The appellant home builder brought a motion to strike a Notice of Proposal issued by the Registrar as an abuse of process.
The Notice proposed adding a condition to the appellant's licence requiring an employee to complete a customer service course, which the employee had already completed by the time the appellant notified the Registrar.
The Tribunal dismissed the motion, finding no abuse of process because the Registrar was unaware of the course completion when it issued the Notice and had a public protection mandate to proceed with a hearing on the suitability of the condition.
