The appellant appealed a costs decision of the Discipline Committee of the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario.
The Committee had dismissed a complaint regarding the appellant's election campaign material but denied his request for costs, finding the commencement of proceedings was not unwarranted.
The Divisional Court held that although the Committee erred in its view of what the Complaints Committee knew, this error did not render the decision unreasonable, as the election material could still reasonably be viewed as crossing the line into unprofessional conduct.
The appeal was dismissed.
