The appellant architect appealed a decision of the Discipline Committee of the Ontario Association of Architects finding him guilty of professional misconduct for practicing architecture through an unlicensed service corporation.
The core issue was whether pre-building-permit drawings prepared by the corporation constituted a 'design' intended to govern the construction of a building under the Architects Act.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the Committee's conclusion that the drawings were intended to exert a controlling influence on the construction of the hotel.
