ICRC DISCIPLINARY HEARING COMMITTEE DEFENCE LAWYERS 

ICRC – Disciplinary Hearing Committee Defence Lawyers Representing Medical Professionals across Ontario.

Your Professional College will also have a lawyer to prosecute the case against you. An experienced lawyer representing you will be able to speak with the prosecuting lawyer in advance of a Discipline Hearing in order to determine whether a negotiated resolution is possible. The earlier this is done, the better. The timing of a resolution can impact any financial penalty or costs ordered against you. You are also entitled to have a Pre-Hearing Conference, where you and your lawyer can meet with the College’s lawyer before one member of the Discipline Committee to discuss the potential issues and prospects of resolving your case. It is crucial you obtain legal assistance for these matters to deal directly with the College and do everything possible to negotiate the best outcome.

Should your matter proceed to a contested hearing, it will be before the Discipline Committee, which is made up of members of your profession, as well as members of the general public. Discipline hearings are generally open to the public. The Discipline Committee hears opening and closing statements and testimony from witnesses and arguments from lawyers, just like a trial. The Discipline Committee then makes findings of both fact and law.

The Discipline Committee has to decide, on a balance of probabilities, whether the College has proven the allegations of professional misconduct against you

A Discipline Committee has the power to:

  • Revoke your licence;
  • Suspend your licence;
  • Imposed terms, conditions or limitations on your licence;
  • Issue a reprimand;
  • Order you to pay a fine; and
  • Order you to pay costs of the investigation and hearing

Like any other trial, you should have a lawyer representing you as soon as you are notified that your matter is being referred to the Discipline Committee. The lawyers at Damien Frost & Associates LLP have extensive experience representing clients before Discipline Committees. Whether you want to resolve or fight the allegations made against you, the lawyers at Damien Frost & Associates LLP are here to help.

Highly Recommend!

"I have been very pleased working with Rebecca. She worked very efficiently, professionally and cared for every step, as we went through the process with Ontario College of Pharmacists. Initially I thought I would be going through a nightmare when I received my paperwork from Ontario College of Pharmacists, but Rebecca made the process seamless and the outcome was positive. Thank-you Rebecca and I would highly recommend your excellent professional service to others."

Truly Professional, Confident & Trustworthy

Instantly Put Me At Ease

Rebecca was very helpful in my particular situation. I spoke to a few lawyers before her and I can't tell you how good she was. She instantly put me at ease by telling me what I was dealing with - others had scared me a lot. She was almost my therapist whereby I would get in touch with her, send my thoughts, and get responses on what the process looked like - she was straightforward, compassionate and understanding of the situation. Great service and no fear-mongering at this company. Thank you for all your help, Rebecca!
