Joseph Domotor Fined $2,000 For Advertising Pesticides For Sale Without A LicenceBRANTFORD – On June 28, 2011, Joseph Domotor pleaded guilty to one violation under the Pesticides Act for the placement of an advertisement offering the sale of pesticides without a vendor license.
The Court heard that Mr. Domotor operates a used car business in Brant, Ontario. In July 2010, ministry staff placed a call to the telephone number listed in an advertisement on a website, offering the sale of pesticides. Mr. Domotor confirmed that he had pesticides for sale. Some of the pesticides offered for sale were prohibited from being used in Ontario. In August 2010, ministry staff visited the business site and observed pesticides on site, including bottles of Wilson Total Wipeout Weed & Grass Killer concentrate – products no longer available for purchase in Ontario.
Mr. Domotor was charged following an investigation by the ministry’s Investigations and Enforcement Branch.
Joseph Domotor was fined $2,000 plus a victim fine surcharge and given six months to pay the fine.
