Details of action

  • the circumstances leading to the Licensee’s dismissal for gross misconduct raised serious concerns as to the Licensee’s suitability to hold a licence, specifically their competence and integrity  
  • the Licensee failed to inform the Commission of his subjection to criminal investigation which is listed under Schedule 7 Relevant Offences of the Act, within the required timeframe which is a breach of his licence  
  • the Licensee failed to inform the Commission of his conviction of offence(s) listed under Schedule 7 Relevant Offences of the Act, within the required timeframe which is a breach of his licence
  • the Licensee failed to inform the Commission of his dismissal for gross misconduct, which is a breach of his licence and demonstrated a lack of insight or understanding of the seriousness of what happened, the reasons that led up to a problem or the consequences  
  • the Licensee failed to cooperate with the review, demonstrating a persistent lack of insight or understanding of the seriousness of the events and review.
