The appellant appealed a decision of the Financial Services Tribunal revoking her mortgage agent licence.
The Tribunal found she had engaged in a repeated pattern of dishonesty, including failing to disclose a previous real estate registration revocation and a criminal conviction for obstructing justice, and misleading investigators.
On appeal, the appellant argued the Tribunal should have applied a higher standard of proof and erred in its penalty.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, confirming that the civil standard of proof applies regardless of the seriousness of the allegations, and found no palpable or overriding error in the Tribunal's decision to revoke the licence.
