In the matter ofย THE MOTOR DEALER ACT R.S.B.C.1996 C.316 andย THE BUSINESS PRACTICES AND CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT S.B.C. 2004 c.2
Complainant:ย REGISTRAR
Licensee/Unlicensed person:
CLAYTON JAMES WILLIAM NORRIS
Issues:
Mr. Norris applied for a salesperson licence.
Mr. Norris had a criminal record and the details of the record were incomplete.
Authority concerned about the record and the lack of full details.
Outcome:
Mr. Norris was attempting to be transparent but was confused about the process.
Mr. Norris was attempting to fully disclose his criminal record, but unaware that a provincial driving offence may be captured by that record.
A new RCMP policy meant it could take up to 12 months to obtain a full detailed criminal record check.
Given Mr. Norrisโs attempt to be transparent, the Registrar granted a conditional licence with 5 restrictions until a detailed criminal record check could be obtained.
