The appellant appealed a summary judgment dismissing his negligence action against the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario (APEO) regarding the processing of his engineering license application.
The motion judge found that the APEO owed no duty of care, or alternatively, was protected by statutory immunity under s. 45(1) of the Professional Engineers Act absent bad faith.
The Court of Appeal agreed that there was no evidence of bad faith, malice, or abuse of power by the APEO.
The appeal was dismissed with costs.
