The appellants operated an online pharmacy selling prescription drugs to Americans, with a call center located in Ontario.
The Ontario College of Pharmacists sought an injunction to stop the appellants from selling drugs without accreditation and using restricted terms.
The application judge granted the injunction, finding the sales occurred in Ontario and the College had jurisdiction.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that a purposive approach to the legislation confirmed the sales took place in Ontario and that there was a sufficient connection to ground the College's jurisdiction to protect the public interest.
