Leslie A. Vandor

The College of Veterinarians of Ontario appealed a Divisional Court decision that granted Dr. Deemar's application for judicial review of pre-hearing rulings by the College's Discipline Committee.

The Discipline Committee had excluded the expert evidence of Dr. Leslie, a former Registrar of the College dismissed in acrimonious circumstances, and Dr. Henry, whose report was deemed irrelevant.

The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, finding that the Discipline Committee correctly excluded the expert reports due to lack of independence and relevance, and that the Complaints Committee had conducted an adequate investigation.

The Divisional Court's order was set aside and the judicial review application was dismissed.

The appellant tenant appealed from two orders: one dismissing her application to direct arbitration under a commercial lease, and another granting the respondent landlord a writ of possession.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the first appeal, finding that the arbitration clause did not apply to the dispute over a future lease after the original lease and extension agreement had expired.

The second appeal was quashed for want of jurisdiction under s. 78(1) of the Commercial Tenancies Act.
