Issues:• A Hearing was called to review the salesperson licence application of Stephen Tyers.

• The Registrar found Mr. Tyers’s criminal conviction was related to the issuance of a salesperson licence and considered the relevant factors.
• The Registrar considered the evidence presented by Mr. Tyers which included letters of reference.
• The Registrar was concerned that it is not in the public interest that Mr. Tyers be licensed as a salesperson at this time as he needs to continue his rehabilitation to reduce the level of risk to the public.
