The Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario appealed a Discipline Committee decision dismissing allegations against a member and his professional corporation.
The Committee found it lacked jurisdiction over the corporation's conduct prior to it obtaining a Certificate of Authorization, and dismissed allegations against the member regarding failure to complete contracted work due to insufficient evidence.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, holding that the Committee's interpretation of its home statute regarding pre-licensure jurisdiction was reasonable and correct, and its factual findings regarding the scope of the contract were reasonable and entitled to deference.
