The applicant physician sought judicial review of the College of Physicians and Surgeons' decision to investigate her for professional misconduct and incompetence related to public health misinformation.
She sought declarations that the College lacked jurisdiction to regulate free speech and that its statement on misinformation was unconstitutional.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application as premature, holding that the applicant could raise her jurisdictional and constitutional arguments before the discipline tribunal if the investigation resulted in a referral for a hearing.
The court also granted a sealing order to protect the identities of patients and informants.
