The applicants, gynecologic oncologists, sought declaratory relief against the Academic Medical Organization of Southwestern Ontario (AMOSO), arguing they were wrongly deemed ineligible to receive funding for their academic services under a funding agreement.
They alleged procedural unfairness and substantive error in AMOSO's decision to discontinue their "Base Clinical Funds," claiming they were not compensated for academic services by another contract (Oncology AFP).
The court dismissed the application, primarily finding that the applicants lacked standing due to privity of contract, as they were not direct parties to the relevant agreements.
Alternatively, the court found that AMOSO's decision-making process was fair, thorough, and conducted in good faith, providing no basis for judicial intervention.
