What is the current state of the law in the context of a driving prohibition review?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Giesbrecht v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2011 BCSC 506 (CanLII):

The cases involving driving-prohibition reviews have held that it is not appropriate to import into the process the procedural protection an accused enjoys in the criminal law context: Bahia v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2006 BCCA 511 at para. 24. The adjudicator’s decision is based on the evidence before him, and as long as there is some evidence upon which the finding could be made the court should not interfere: Nagra at paras. 27 and 28.
