Justice Uuter Paul Dery dismissed the plaintiff’s challenges to the club’s disciplinary proceedings. The court held that the disciplinary committee complied with the club’s constitution and bye-laws, explicitly noting that the rules authorized the committee to proceed in the plaintiff’s absence. The plaintiff alleged procedural unfairness, human rights violations, and bias by committee members, but the court found those assertions unsupported by evidence. In light of the committee’s adherence to its governing framework and the absence of proof of bias or rights violations, the court concluded that the reliefs the plaintiff sought were unmeritorious. This determination affirmed the legitimacy of the internal disciplinary process and underscored the requirement that claims of unfairness or bias be substantiated. As a result, the plaintiff’s claims were dismissed in their entirety.
