The appellant teacher appealed a decision of the Fitness to Practise Committee of the Ontario College of Teachers.
The Committee had found the appellant incapacitated due to a mental condition that led to serious boundary violations with a student.
The Committee rejected a joint submission on penalty and imposed more stringent conditions, including a requirement for therapy and a psychiatric assessment before returning to teaching.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding that the Committee properly followed procedural fairness when rejecting the joint submission and reasonably exercised its statutory duty to protect the public interest.
