The applicant sought judicial review of a Health Professions Appeal and Review Board decision upholding a remedial agreement between the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and a psychiatrist.
The applicant had complained about her premature discharge from a psychiatric unit while experiencing suicidal ideation.
The court found the Board's decision reasonable, concluding the investigation was adequate and procedurally fair.
Although the court expressed concern that the remedial agreement might have been crafted to avoid public disclosure requirements under the Protecting Patients Act, it declined to remit the matter as the physician had already completed the program.
