The applicant appealed the 45-day impoundment of her motor vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act, arguing due diligence and exceptional hardship.
The vehicle was impounded after being driven by an individual whose licence was suspended for a Criminal Code conviction.
The applicant did not attend the hearing, and her counsel relied on an affidavit.
The Tribunal found insufficient evidence to establish that the applicant took reasonable steps to verify the driver's licence validity or that the impoundment would cause exceptional hardship.
The appeal was dismissed and the impoundment confirmed.
