The appellant applied for a licence as a groom under the Horse Racing Licence Act, 2015.
The Registrar proposed to refuse the application based on the appellant's past criminal convictions for violent offences and his failure to fully disclose them on his application.
The Tribunal found that the appellant's past conduct was caused by untreated or ineffectively treated schizophrenia.
Since 2015, the appellant has been effectively treated, his condition is in remission, and he has been symptom-free.
The Tribunal concluded that the appellant did not knowingly fail to disclose his convictions and that any risk could be managed with conditions.
The Tribunal ordered the Registrar to issue the licence subject to ongoing medical reporting conditions.
