REASONS

This appeal concerns a decision of the Registrar of Approved Driving Instructors (the “Registrar”) made on 11 September 2024 to remove the Appellant’s name from the Register of Approved Driving Instructors (“the Register”) on the ground that the Appellant had ceased to be a fit and proper person to be an Approved Driving Instructor (“ADI”). This is because he had a fixed penalty dated 18 May 2024 for breach of requirements as to control of the vehicle, mobile telephones and so on (CU80) resulting in 6 penalty points.

The proceedings were held by video (CVP). The parties joined remotely. The Tribunal was satisfied that it was fair and just to conduct the hearing in this way.
