Summary

Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.

Pursuant to a Notice of Proposal (the “NOP”), the Registrar proposed to revoke the registration of Mr. Lamba as a broker under the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002, S.O. 2002, c. 30, Sched. C (the Act) and Regulations. Pursuant to the NOP, the Registrar also proposed to revoke the registration of Whitehill Realty International Inc. as a registered brokerage under the Act. Mr. Lamba and Whitehill requested a hearing before the Licence Appeal Tribunal (the “Tribunal”). A hearing was held, and the Tribunal directed the Registrar to carry out his proposal to revoke the registration of Mr. Lamba as a registered broker and Whitehill as a registered brokerage, both pursuant to the Act. In accordance with the Tribunal’s decision, the Registrar revoked the applicants’ registrations. The Divisional Court dismissed the applicants’ argument that they were denied procedural fairness and dismissed the appeal. The Court of Appeal dismissed the motion for leave to appeal.
