Facts of the Case

Background

The respondent, a Licensing Controller, was charged with fraud for unflagging a vehicle on ZACC's flagging list. Disciplinary proceedings led to his conviction, but an arbitrator found the unflagging was a mistake and ordered reinstatement. The applicant's subsequent appeal was struck off the roll, and they filed this condonation application 39 days later (9 days out of time).
