The appellant, an independent health facility, appealed a Small Claims Court decision ordering it to pay fees to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario for practice assessments.
The appellant argued the College lacked statutory authority to charge these fees.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding that under the integrated legislative scheme of the Independent Health Facilities Act and the Regulated Health Professions Act, the College had the authority to enact by-laws charging fees to non-members for assessments it was required to conduct.
