The appellant, a former real estate broker whose license was revoked, appealed and sought judicial review of a Licence Appeal Tribunal decision denying his reapplication for registration.
He argued the Tribunal breached procedural fairness by denying his requests for a summons, an adjournment, and allegedly preventing him from recording the hearing.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding the Tribunal properly exercised its discretion in denying the irrelevant summons and the last-minute adjournment.
The court noted the appellant was explicitly granted permission to record the hearing but failed to retain a reporter, and his deliberate choice to leave the hearing meant he failed to meet his evidentiary onus.
