Registrar's Decision 16-01-004

Outcome:

• The Registrar considered whether Mr. Ironside’s conduct indicated that there had been rehabilitation, remorse, acceptance of past conduct, restitution and/or positive steps taken to address any aggravating factors and applied Re: Peter Fryer (Registrar of Motor Dealers, Hearing File 13-11-005, December 13, 2015).
