. Sohail Aslam v. Ontario College of Pharmacists [declining to hold as premature on consent]
In Sohail Aslam v. Ontario College of Pharmacists (Ont Div Ct, 2025) the Ontario Divisional Court dismissed a JR, here against a denied abuse of process (delay) ruling in a remitted OCP Discipline Committee proceeding.
Here, in the context of a JR of an interlocutory order, the court - with consent of the respondent - declines to dismiss the JR as premature:
Prematurity
[7] With respect to prematurity, the College is not taking the position that, in the particular circumstances of this case, this Court should decline to hear this application. However, it does so only because of the expert evidence as to the increased risk that a second discipline hearing will present to Mr. Aslam’s health. In making this concession, the College is not conceding that the delay in the proceedings caused or contributed to Mr. Aslam’s health struggles.
[8] In view of the College’s appropriate concession, we are not dismissing the application as premature.
