DECISION ON MOTION
Counsel for the College brought a motion to seek leave from the Committee to withdraw the allegations set out in the Notice of Hearing dated May 11, 2011.
Adam Daniel Brox was not in attendance.
Having reviewed the facts of this case, College counsel sought to withdraw the allegations of professional misconduct set out in the Notice of Hearing. College counsel determined that there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations. Should the matter proceed to a hearing, it was unlikely that there would be a finding of professional misconduct. Counsel for the Member concurred.
Independent legal counsel advised the Committee that it had jurisdiction to make the order requested pursuant to Rule 13(16) of the Rules of Procedure of the Discipline Committee.
Having considered the submissions of College Counsel and Counsel for the Member, and upon the consent of the parties, the Committee authorizes the College to withdraw the allegations of professional misconduct against Adam Daniel Brox set out in the Notice of Hearing dated May 11, 2011.
The Committee determined that the request for withdrawal is reasonable and appropriate and serves the public interest.
