The Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario appealed a Divisional Court decision that allowed the respondent's appeal from a decision of the Association's Council.
The Council had upheld a Registration Committee decision deferring the respondent's membership application until she completed four additional university courses, despite her holding a four-year Bachelor of Science degree.
The Divisional Court found the Association had no statutory authority to impose these additional requirements.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the Divisional Court applied the appropriate standard of review (reasonableness) and made no error in its analysis or conclusion.
