Is there any case law supporting the argument that a committee of ethics officers was bound by a duty of fairness in its dealings with the applicant?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Price v. Psychologists Association of Alberta, 1980 CanLII 1029 (AB QB):
The applicant then argues that the ethics committee failed in its obligation of “fairness” in dealings with the applicant. I am prepared to accept that the ethics committee was bound by a duty of “fairness” in its dealings with the applicant. I accept that Martineau v. Matsqui Institution Inmate Disciplinary Bd. (1979), 1979 CanLII 184 (SCC), 13 C.R. (3d) 1, 15 C.R. (3d) 315, 50 C.C.C. (2d) 353, 106 D.L.R. (3d) 385, 30 N.R. 119 (S.C.C.), lays down that general principle.
