Registrar's Decision 09-70100 & 09-70695

File Number: 09-70100/09-70695

In the matter of THE MOTOR DEALER ACT R.S.B.C.1996 C.316
and THE BUSINESS PRACTICES AND CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT S.B.C. 2004 c.2

Complainant: ISSAC ROBERTS

Licensee/Unlicensed person:

MATRIX AUTO SALES LTD. AND MOHAMMAD REZA FORGOHI AND RAMIN KARAMALI AND REZAPOOR HABIBOLLAH

Issues:

  • Motor Dealer sought production of additional documents.
  • Some of those documents were held by ICBC and Matrix wanted an order compelling ICBC to produce those documents.
  • The motor dealer alleged illegal conduct on the part of the complainant to justify the extra document production.

Outcome:

  • The order for production was denied.
  • The motor dealer’s basis for making the allegation had little foundation on the presented evidence.
  • Such a probing inquiry and order for production must be based on some clear evidence and not a mere allegation before an order to produce records will be made against ICBC or another third party.
