The appellants appealed the Ontario Securities Commission's findings that they engaged in fraudulent conduct in connection with three distributions of securities and the resulting sanctions.
The Divisional Court applied the appellate standard of review from Vavilov, finding no palpable and overriding errors of fact, no errors of mixed fact and law, and no denial of procedural fairness.
The Commission's reasons were adequate and the sanctions, including permanent bans, administrative penalties, and disgorgement orders, were reasonable and supported by the evidence.
The appeal was dismissed.
