Brampton court hands three curbsiders 21 convictions and $82,500 in fines for unregistered dealing

A Brampton court convicted Anit Singh, Naaz Autos and Kalsi Motor Wholesale on 21 counts of unregistered dealing (July 7, 2026), with $82,500 in total fines.

Penalty: 21 convictions, $82,500 in fines across three parties (July 7); five further convictions June 25-26 with fines and probation MVDA s. 4(1) MVDA s. 27 MVDA s. 32

OMVIC’s court enforcement table recorded 21 convictions on July 7, 2026, all entered at the Brampton court, all guilty pleas, and all under s. 4(1)(a) of the MVDA: acting as a motor vehicle dealer without registration. Three parties pleaded guilty on the same day. Naaz Autos Inc. o/a Naaz Auto took nine counts with fines of $4,000 or $4,500 each, $37,500 in total. Kalsi Motor Wholesale Inc. took six counts, four at $5,000 and two at $2,500, for $25,000. Anit Singh took six counts, four at $4,000 and two at $2,000, for $20,000. Across the batch: $82,500.

This is curbsiding enforcement through the courts, and it is a different track from the discipline cases this site usually covers. Discipline fines under the Code of Ethics apply to registrants and top out at $25,000 per party. Unregistered sellers are not registrants, so OMVIC prosecutes them under the Provincial Offences Act, where a conviction is quasi-criminal. Under s. 32(3) of the MVDA, an individual faces a fine of up to $50,000 or up to two years less a day in jail, or both, and a corporation faces up to $250,000. Since a 2023 amendment, s. 32(4) also sets a $5,000 minimum fine for a s. 4(1) conviction; per-count fines below that figure in this batch would reflect the law that applied when the offences occurred, which the table does not state.

Each count is a separate conviction, which is how the totals climb. A curbsider who sells nine vehicles is not looking at one charge; each sale can be charged and fined on its own.

The June convictions that came before

The same table logged five convictions in the two weeks prior:

  • Param Atul Chitaliya (Toronto): five guilty-plea counts under s. 4(1)(a), each recorded with 12 months of probation and a $2,500 fine, June 26.
  • Vansh Patel (Toronto): one guilty-plea count under s. 4(1)(a), 12 months of probation and a $2,500 fine, June 26.
  • Christopher Kafaldjian (Windsor): guilty pleas to one count under s. 4(1)(a) at $5,000 and one count of furnishing false information under s. 27 at $2,000, June 26.
  • Mahmoud Hritani (Toronto): convicted at trial under s. 27, 12 months of probation, June 26.
  • Patrick Deer (Toronto): one guilty-plea count under s. 4(1)(a), a $3,000 fine, June 25.

Probation orders on Provincial Offences Act convictions are worth noticing. A fine is a cost; a probation order carries conditions whose breach is a fresh offence. The March 2025 case OMVIC publicized saw an unlicensed seller sentenced to jail time, so the escalation ladder above a fine is real.

The active-charges side of the same table shows the pipeline is full. Andy Boston Motors & Leasing Ltd. faces multiple fresh s. 4(1)(a) charges laid June 22, 2026 in Sault Ste. Marie, the fourth set covered in the Andy Boston Motors warning post. Those remain allegations; no conviction has been entered on them.

One caution on sourcing: OMVIC’s court table publishes name, court location, charge, disposition and date, but no underlying court documents. Everything above reflects the table as published on July 11, 2026, and nothing more is known about the facts behind each count.

What to learn

  • Registration is the gate, and each sale counts separately. Section 4(1) prohibits trading without registration; 21 convictions in one day at one courthouse shows prosecutors charging per transaction.
  • Court fines and discipline fines are different regimes. Discipline is the Code of Ethics track for registrants, capped at $25,000 per party. Court prosecution under s. 32 reaches anyone, with fines up to $250,000 for corporations and jail available for individuals.
  • Furnishing false information is its own offence. Two of the June convictions were under s. 27, not s. 4. Lying to the regulator gets charged alongside, or instead of, unregistered dealing.
