The applicants, two cancer researchers, sought judicial review of two decisions by the respondent hospital network regarding findings of research misconduct.
The first decision upheld a reconsidered sanction suspending their research activities after an earlier court decision remitted the matter.
The second decision permanently closed their laboratory following a second investigation committee's finding of material non-compliance with accepted standards due to image manipulation and falsification in published papers.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding the decisions and sanctions reasonable, the reasons adequate, and no reasonable apprehension of bias.
