Maksoud v Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators, 2020 ONSC 3175 May 20, 2020
Toronto
(In writing) The applicant sought leave to commence an application on an urgent basis concerning the alleged unconstitutionality of the regulation governing the licensing of physiotherapists in Ontario. The applicant was unable to obtain a stay of proceedings before the administrative tribunal while he brings a Charter challenge.

The court deemed this matter to not be urgent stating at para 11 that: “The proceeding proposed does not meet the terms of the Notice to the Profession dated March 15, 2020. It is not a proceeding that the court is able to hear at this time. It is not one that should be accommodated on account of urgency. Even absent the Covid-19 pandemic, the proposed hurried application is fundamentally inapt in face of the existing proceedings before the tribunal and the need for a full evidentiary underpinning for a constitutional challenge.”
