The Ontario College of Pharmacists brought an ex parte motion for an interim injunction and compliance order against a former pharmacist and her pharmacy corporation.
The respondent had previously undertaken to resign her registration and close or sell the pharmacy, but evidence showed she continued to operate the pharmacy and dispense narcotics.
The court granted the interim injunction, suspending the pharmacy's accreditation and authorizing the College to seize drugs and records, finding that irreparable harm is presumed when an unlicensed individual provides public health care services.
