The appellant architect appealed a decision of the Registration Committee of the Ontario Association of Architects, which reinstated his licence with conditions but refused to reinstate his certificate of practice.
The Registrar's Notice of Proposal to refuse reinstatement was based solely on concerns related to a partial building collapse at the appellant's property.
However, the Committee based its refusal primarily on the appellant's history of fee defaults and poor interactions with the Association, which were not included in the Notice.
The Divisional Court allowed the appeal, finding that the Committee committed an error of law by denying the appellant procedural fairness and natural justice due to the lack of notice.
