The appellant obtained writs of evocation from decisions of the Professions Tribunal, which had quashed a Discipline Committee's decision.
The Superior Court held that the wide powers conferred upon the Professions Tribunal, combined with privative clauses, offended s. 96 of the B.N.A. Act by effectively creating a s. 96 court.
The Court of Appeal reversed this decision.
On appeal, the Supreme Court of Canada held that a provincial legislature cannot constitutionally insulate a statutory tribunal from curial review of its decisions on questions of jurisdiction.
The appeal was allowed and the Superior Court judgments restored.
