Judicial review granted and College decisions quashed due to failure to provide notice of complaint.
The applicant, a massage therapist, sought judicial review of two decisions by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario's Complaints Committee to investigate allegations of sexual abuse.
The complainant had withdrawn the complaint shortly after filing it, and the College failed to provide the applicant with notice of the specific allegations or an opportunity to respond before making its decisions.
The Divisional Court allowed the application and quashed the decisions, finding that the College acted without jurisdiction by violating its statutory requirements and the applicant's right to procedural fairness.
Union certification granted; employer's challenge based on union electioneering outside polling station dismissed.
The applicant trade union applied for certification, and a representation vote was held.
The responding employer sought to dismiss the application, alleging that a union representative accosted and spoke to employees outside the building where the polling station was located, thereby violating the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The Board dismissed the employer's request, finding no prima facie case that the union representative intimidated, coerced, or unduly influenced voters.
The Board noted that electioneering outside the polling area is permissible absent improper conduct.
As more than fifty percent of the ballots were cast in favour of the applicant, a certificate was issued.
