In professional discipline cases, provincial and territorial courts can review the decisions of professional disciplinary bodies to ensure that they were fair and reasonable. The courts can also overturn decisions that are found to be errors of law or procedural fairness violations.

A lawyer who was disbarred by the Law Society of Ontario challenged the decision in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The Court found that the lawyer had been treated fairly and that the decision was reasonable.
If you are involved in a professional discipline case, you may have the right to appeal the decision to a provincial or territorial court. If you are considering appealing a decision, it is important to seek legal advice to understand your rights and options.

The role of provincial and territorial courts in professional discipline is essential to ensuring that these bodies act fairly and reasonably, and that the rights of individuals and businesses are protected.
