The applicant, a real estate agent, sought judicial review of a decision by the Real Estate Council of Ontario's Appeal Panel upholding a finding that she breached the Code of Ethics.
The applicant had included inaccurate property tax and local improvement charge information in a real estate listing without a sufficient public disclaimer.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding that the Discipline Panel reasonably excluded the applicant's proposed expert evidence because it went to the ultimate issue and was unnecessary.
The Court also held that the Discipline Panel's finding of professional misconduct was reasonable, as the applicant failed to clearly communicate that the tax figures were unverified estimates.
