Paul Allan Jones v Registrar of Approved Driving Instructors

The appellant's conduct, specifically sending inappropriate and sexual text messages to a pupil and engaging in unprofessional behaviour, fell short of the high standards required of an Approved Driving Instructor. The Tribunal found that the Registrar had established, on the balance of probabilities, that the appellant was not a fit and proper person to remain on the Register, and the appellant's personal circumstances did not mitigate the seriousness of the misconduct.

On balance, the appellant meets the statutory requirement to be a fit and proper person, and removal from the Register is not justified.
