The appellant, a licensed funeral director, appealed a Divisional Court decision upholding the Licence Appeal Tribunal's revocation of her licence for professional misconduct.
The appellant argued the Tribunal erred by not deferring to the Discipline Committee's penalty decision and that there was no evidence her conduct endangered the public.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the Tribunal hearing was de novo under the Funeral Directors and Establishments Act, requiring no deference, and that the Tribunal's findings of deceitful conduct were well-supported by the evidence.
