The Canadian Doctors of Audiology Association brought a motion for leave to intervene in an appeal concerning a finding of professional misconduct against an audiologist for using the title 'Doctor'.
The proposed intervenor sought to support the appellant's constitutional challenge to s. 33 of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the application was brought very late, the proposed argument substantially echoed the appellant's argument, and the intervention would not make a useful and distinct contribution sufficient to justify disrupting the scheduled appeal.
