Does the Architectural Institute of B.C have a right to continue to be a member of the profession?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Mackin v. The Architectural Institute of British Columbia, 1999 CanLII 5957 (BC SC):
Counsel for the Institute concedes that the continuing right to membership in the profession which one is practising is fundamental to one's human dignity and is protected by s.7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms: Howard v. Architectural Inst. of B.C. (1989), 40 B.C.L.R.(2d) 315 (S.C.). Furthermore, since disciplinary proceedings may threaten one's right to pursue her or his livelihood, the proceedings must be conducted in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.
