Two physicians sought judicial review and constitutional relief challenging registration requirements under the Medicine Act and requesting mandamus orders compelling the regulatory body to issue certificates of registration.
They also sought Charter-based relief preventing the regulator from investigating professional conduct.
The court held that the applications were premature because the applicants had alternative statutory remedies through the regulator’s processes, including review by the Health Professions Review Board and appeal to the Divisional Court.
The applicants had also failed to provide sworn evidence or comply with procedural requirements for judicial review.
The court further found the requested mandamus and constitutional relief lacked factual and legal foundation and dismissed the applications.
