Hearing Tribunal decisions

Posted May 9, 2025

Hearing Tribunal decisions are delivered in writing. The merits decision outlines whether a physician is guilty of unprofessional conduct.
If there is a finding of unprofessional conduct, the sanction decision outlines the penalties levied against the physician by the Hearing Tribunal. These can be delivered as one written decision or two separate written decisions, depending on the circumstances of the case.
