The Member, a teacher, was found guilty of professional misconduct for verbally and psychologically abusing a special needs student.

At the request of the student's parents, the Member ran a 'boot camp' at her home to discipline the student, which involved physical labour such as carrying a cinder block and scooping water from a pool.

The Member filmed the student and shared the video without permission, and also reprimanded the student inappropriately via videoconference.

The Discipline Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand, a five-month suspension of the Member's teaching certificate, and the completion of coursework on classroom management and appropriate discipline.

The member, a teacher, faced a discipline hearing for distributing inappropriate teaching materials and making homophobic and transphobic comments in class and on social media.

The member pleaded guilty to professional misconduct, admitting that his actions constituted verbal, psychological, and emotional abuse of students, and failed to maintain professional standards.

The Discipline Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand, a one-month suspension, and the completion of a course on appropriate social media use, anti-discrimination, and inclusion.

The applicant sought judicial review of a supplementary award by a Board of Arbitration that granted improved vacation benefits for part-time nurses.

The original award had increased vacation entitlements for full-time nurses but was silent on part-time nurses.

The Board issued a supplementary award, stating the omission was an oversight and rejecting the applicant's argument that it was functus officio.

The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding the Board's decision that it was not functus officio was reasonable, as the omission was an error in expressing the manifest intention of the Board and the Board remained seized of the implementation of the award under the Hospital Labour Disputes Arbitration Act.
