Motor vehicle dealer and salesperson registrations revoked for selling unsafe vehicles with false safety certificates.
The Registrar proposed to revoke the registrations of a motor vehicle dealer and salesperson after they sold two vehicles that were certified as safe but were subsequently deemed unfit for the road by an MTO inspector.
The dealer argued he relied on the Safety Standards Certificates issued by a third-party inspection station.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the dealer failed to meet his disclosure obligations and was wilfully blind to the vehicles' unsafe conditions, directing the Registrar to carry out the proposal to revoke the registrations.
Registration as motor vehicle salesperson refused due to applicant knowingly making a false statement on application.
The appellant appealed a Notice of Proposal by the Registrar to refuse his registration as a motor vehicle salesperson.
The Registrar sought refusal on two grounds: the appellant's past criminal convictions for sexual offences involving minors, and a false statement on his application regarding past professional disciplinary action.
The Tribunal found that the appellant had sufficiently rehabilitated himself regarding his past criminal conduct.
However, the Tribunal concluded that the appellant, a highly educated former teacher, knowingly made a false statement on his application by failing to disclose that his teaching certificate had been revoked.
The Tribunal directed the Registrar to carry out the proposal to refuse registration.
