On February 27, 2014, the Discipline Committee ordered a permanent suspension of Mann Arnel Celestin’s real estate broker’s licence (Licence No. E1069) as to counts Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the formal complaint, enforceable as of the date the decision is served on the defendant, if the latter is the holder of a licence issued by the OACIQ or, if not, whenever he becomes a licence holder again.

Given that Mann Arnel Celestin is no longer a licence holder, his licence will be suspended permanently whenever he becomes a licence holder again.
