Divisional Court Issues Guidance to Health-Care Sector
In Ren v. College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, a brief decision reviewing a caution issued by the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (the “ICRC”) of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, the Divisional Court provided important guidance on three issues of professional regulation in the health-care sector: the scope of procedural fairness to which a member is entitled during a college investigation; what can be included by way of content and language in a caution issued by the ICRC; and the jurisdiction of the Divisional Court to review a decision of the ICRC.
