The appellant physician appealed a decision of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario Discipline Committee Panel, which found him guilty of professional misconduct and sexual abuse of a former patient.
The panel's decision was split 3-2, with the minority finding the sexual abuse allegations unproven.
The appellant argued the majority's credibility assessments and factual findings were unreasonable.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, holding that the majority's findings were reasonable, supported by the evidence, and entitled to deference.
