The appellants appealed the Ontario Securities Commission's (OSC) decisions on the merits and sanctions regarding their conduct in the investment industry.
The Divisional Court held that the standard of review for the OSC's decisions is reasonableness, except for procedural fairness.
The court found that the OSC reasonably excluded fresh evidence, reasonably upheld the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada's (IIROC) findings on the merits, and conducted a procedurally fair fresh sanctions hearing.
The appeal was dismissed.
