Committee: Discipline
Decision Date: 22 Mar 1989
Summary:
In March 1988, Dr. Petrie had been found guilty by the Discipline Committee of professional misconduct, as defined in Ontario Regulation 448/80, as amended, in that he failed to maintain the records that are required to be kept respecting his patients, contrary to s. 27(3); and in that he failed to maintain the standard of practice of the profession, contrary to s. 27(21). Dr. Petrie appealed this decision, and Divisional Court, while upholding the Discipline Committee(s verdict of guilt, ordered that the matter be returned to the Committee for re-hearing of submissions as to penalty. Consequently, a new penalty Hearing was held in March 1989. At the close of this Hearing the Committee ordered that Dr. Petrie be reprimanded, with the fact of the reprimand to be recorded on the Register. It was further ordered that Dr. Petrie(s licence to practice be suspended for a period of two months, but that this suspension would itself be suspended if he agreed to the carrying out of an investigation of his practice of the kind contemplated by s. 64 of the Health Disciplines Act.
