The applicant, a school board trustee, sought judicial review of the respondent school board's decision to sanction her for breaching its Code of Conduct.
The applicant had made comments about other trustees that were investigated and found to be harassing and discriminatory.
The Divisional Court allowed the application and quashed the board's decision, finding a breach of procedural fairness.
The board failed to follow its own mandatory procedures for Code of Conduct complaints, including time limits and informal resolution steps, and failed to make the statutorily required finding that a breach had occurred before imposing sanctions.
