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The complainant had withdrawn the complaint shortly after filing it, and the College failed to provide the applicant with notice of the specific allegations or an opportunity to respond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.
