The appellant appealed the Registrar's proposal to refuse his registration as a real estate salesperson.
The Registrar refused registration on the grounds that the appellant made a false statement in his application regarding a past sexual assault conviction and that his past conduct afforded reasonable grounds for belief that he would not carry on business with integrity and honesty.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the appellant knowingly provided an exculpatory and false explanation of his conviction, minimizing his behaviour and casting himself as the victim.
The Tribunal directed the Registrar to carry out the proposal and refuse the registration.
