The appellant, a chartered accountant, appealed the revocation of his public accounting licence by the Public Accountants Council of Ontario.
The appellant's licence was initially subject to revocation due to his bankruptcy, but the Council adjourned the hearing on conditions, including an undertaking not to practice.
The appellant breached the undertaking, failed to cooperate with inspections, and failed to attend the reconvened hearing.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding ample evidence to support the revocation and concluding that the Council acted reasonably in proceeding in the appellant's absence.
