Which of the following could lead to the appointment of a receiver by OMVIC?

The appointment of a receiver by OMVIC typically occurs when a dealership fails to comply with regulations. This is an important measure taken to protect consumers and ensure that automotive businesses operate within the framework of the law. Non-compliance can encompass a range of issues, such as failing to adhere to licensing requirements, not following consumer protection standards, or engaging in fraudulent practices. When these situations arise, OMVIC may step in to appoint a receiver to oversee the dealership’s operations, rectify compliance issues, and safeguard consumers' interests.

The other options do not necessarily imply a need for regulatory intervention. Strong sales, for instance, generally indicate a well-functioning business, while having recently opened or experiencing high employee turnover does not directly relate to regulatory compliance. These factors may reflect on operational aspects of the business but do not trigger the appointment of a receiver in the same way that a failure to comply with established regulations does.
