The appellants operated an online pharmacy selling prescription drugs to Americans, with a call center located in Ontario.

The Ontario College of Pharmacists sought an injunction to stop the appellants from selling drugs without accreditation and using restricted terms.

The application judge granted the injunction, finding the sales occurred in Ontario and the College had jurisdiction.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that a purposive approach to the legislation confirmed the sales took place in Ontario and that there was a sufficient connection to ground the College's jurisdiction to protect the public interest.

The member faced a disciplinary hearing after being found guilty of criminal fraud over $5,000 for improperly using her employer's corporate credit card to defraud them of approximately $30,000.

The member admitted to the allegations of professional misconduct.

The Discipline Committee accepted the joint submission on penalty and ordered the revocation of the member's certificate of registration, emphasizing the need for specific and general deterrence for breaches of trust.

The College of Nurses of Ontario brought professional misconduct allegations against the respondent following his criminal convictions for two counts of sexual assault and one count of gross indecency involving a vulnerable person.

The respondent did not attend the discipline hearing.

The Discipline Committee found that the criminal convictions were relevant to his suitability to practise nursing and constituted professional misconduct.

Given the severity of the offences, the breach of trust, and the respondent's lack of governability, the Committee ordered the immediate revocation of his certificate of registration.

The College of Nurses of Ontario brought allegations of professional misconduct against the Member, who had pled guilty in criminal court to theft and fraud for misappropriating a credit card and $1,005.00 from an elderly client at a long-term care facility.

The Discipline Committee found the Member committed professional misconduct as the criminal offences were relevant to her suitability to practise.

The Committee ordered a reprimand, a six-month suspension of her certificate of registration, and imposed terms, conditions, and limitations, including sessions with a nursing expert and employer notification requirements.

The appellant appealed an order striking his pleadings in their entirety and refusing leave to amend.

The pleadings alleged assault, breach of contract, malicious prosecution, unreasonable refusal of club membership, and defamation.

The Court of Appeal found that the new allegations were not raised before the motion judge and were inadequately pleaded, the membership refusal did not give rise to a cause of action, and the defamation claim lacked the required specificity.

The court upheld the motion judge's discretionary decision to refuse leave to amend due to the passage of time and failure to provide proposed amended pleadings.

The appeal was dismissed.

The respondents requested that the human rights application alleging sexual harassment during massage therapy be deferred or dismissed because the applicant had filed a complaint with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.

The Tribunal found that the College matter had concluded, so deferral was not appropriate.

Regarding the request to dismiss under section 45.1 of the Code, the Tribunal directed that the applicant be given an opportunity to make oral submissions before a final determination is made.
