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.
