In what circumstances will a regulatory body be held liable for bad faith?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Pouget v. Hynes, 2008 CanLII 5977 (ON SC):
In support of such concept, the plaintiff refers to Finney v. Barreau du Québec 2004 SCC 37 (CanLII), 2004 S.C.C. 37. Justice LeBel in his review of civil liability for acts or omissions of a regulatory board in the performance of their duties and functions, does not remove it from liability for serious carelessness that amounts under the facts to bad faith.
