The plaintiff physician sued the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario for abuse of process and intentional infliction of mental distress after his medical license was revoked.
The College moved for summary judgment or to strike the claim.
The court granted summary judgment dismissing the action, finding that the plaintiff's claims were incapable of proof due to the absolute bar on admitting College proceeding records under s. 36(3) of the Regulated Health Professions Act.
Furthermore, the College and its committees were protected by absolute privilege, judicial immunity, and statutory good faith immunity under s. 38 of the Act.
