The appellant appealed a decision of the License Appeal Tribunal refusing to renew his registration as a real estate broker.
The Tribunal found that the appellant had participated in a mortgage fraud scheme by providing false appraisals, and concluded he would not carry on business with integrity and honesty.
On appeal, the appellant argued the Tribunal erred by failing to consider imposing conditions on his license and by drawing an adverse inference from his initial exercise of his right to silence.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding the Tribunal's decision to revoke the license without conditions was reasonable given the egregious nature of the fraud, and that the Tribunal properly considered the timing of the appellant's cooperation in assessing his rehabilitation.
