The appellant, a licensed electrical contractor, appealed a decision of the review panel of the Electrical Safety Authority confirming a defect notice.
The notice was issued after the appellant disconnected and reconnected an electrical panel without authorization, allegedly violating rule 2-012 of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
The Divisional Court determined the standard of review was reasonableness and found the review panel's broad interpretation of the rule—requiring authorization for all disconnections regardless of method or reason—was reasonable.
The appeal was dismissed.
