What is the standard of procedural fairness required at a disciplinary hearing?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from British Columbia (Securities Commission) v. Pacific International Securities Inc., 2002 BCCA 421 (CanLII):
The appellants stressed the importance to them of the consequences they would suffer from orders that might result from the hearing. They relied on Kane v. Board of Governors of U.B.C., 1980 CanLII 10 (SCC), [1980] 1 S.C.R. 1105, a judicial review of a decision to suspend a university professor for misuse of university facilities, in support of their submission that a high standard of procedural fairness is required when the right to continue a profession or employment is at stake.
