Five Brantford guilty pleas cost Mackenzie Windsor $23,000 plus $10,000 restitution, and Favorit Motors is fined $5,000 under s. 4(3) in Toronto

Mackenzie Windsor’s five guilty pleas in a Brantford court on August 27, 2026 put $23,000 in fines and $10,000 in restitution on OMVIC’s court table in a single day, more than the week’s other four parties combined. Three pleas were to acting as a motor vehicle dealer without registration under s. 4(1)(a) of the MVDA, $5,000 each, with $5,000 in restitution on each of two of the three. Two were to the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 offence of making a false, misleading or deceptive representation, the unfair practice defined in s. 14(1) and prohibited by s. 17(1), $4,000 each. The convictions dated August 24 to 28 run to ten rows and five parties for $42,500 in fines. Every one was a guilty plea, and the August 2026 rows were entered with no appeal recorded against them.

Brantford: three registration counts and two unfair practices

The Brantford file is the batch’s only appearance of the Consumer Protection Act. Selling without registration and making a false, misleading or deceptive representation are separate offences, and Mackenzie Windsor pleaded to both. No court document is attached. The table does not say what was represented, who bought the vehicles, or which statute the two restitution orders were made under.

Favorit Motors, Persad, Robinson and Young

Two convictions were entered in Toronto on August 28. 1174206 Ontario Limited o/a Favorit Motors pleaded guilty to retaining the services of an unregistered salesperson, contrary to s. 4(3), and was fined $5,000. Alyssa Persad pleaded guilty to acting as a salesperson without registration under s. 4(1)(b), $3,500. Nothing on the table ties the corporation’s s. 4(3) count to Persad’s s. 4(1)(b) count, and no link between the two should be read into their appearing together.

Adam Robinson pleaded guilty in Timmins on August 27 to two unregistered-dealer counts under s. 4(1)(a), $3,000 each, and Jack Young pleaded guilty in Windsor on August 24 to one, $5,000.

Fines with a floor, and one without

Favorit Motors’ count carries no statutory floor. Section 4(3) is addressed to the dealer, and its fine is set within the general maximums in s. 32(3), so nothing set a floor under the $5,000. The three July pleas by Milan Maceka, 2775401 Ontario Inc. o/a Qaddis and Nawar Qadas were $2,500 each, and RH Auto Sales’ two counts in the Notar batch were $3,000 each.

Mackenzie Windsor’s three counts and Young’s one were fined at the s. 32(4) minimum for s. 4(1) convictions. Robinson’s $3,000 counts and Persad’s $3,500 are below it.

This batch puts restitution back on the table. The two $5,000 orders on Mackenzie Windsor’s dealer counts are the first restitution shown since Matthew Motiey’s August 12 convictions, and the August 18 to 21 batch in between carried none.
