Appeal to the Tribunal

Appeal to the Tribunal

17.

The grounds of appeal are, in summary, that the Appellant has not been working as a driving instructor because she is recovering from a leg injury and has undergone surgery and physiotherapy. The Appellant states that she has worked hard for her licence and invested time and money. She says that if her licence is taken away she will not have the choice to go back into the profession when she chooses to.

18.

The Registrar, in his response, states that the reasons for his decision were:

18.1.

The Appellant had failed to attend check tests on three occasions and made no contact or provided any evidence for her non-attendance.

18.2.

The Registrar considered that the Appellant had been given adequate opportunity to attend and pass the test but had failed to do so. In the interests of road safety and consumer protection the Registrar felt obliged to remove her name, because she had been unable to satisfy the Registrar that her ability to give driving instruction was of a satisfactory standard.
