Farhat v College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, 2014 ABQB 731

This professional liability matter concerned a foreign physician's application for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. The Applicant physician had been denied registration as a result of a failed Preliminary Clinical Assessment conducted by the College. That denial was the subject of an internal appeal at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta which upheld the denial of licensure for the applicant physician. That decision was then appealed by way of judicial review to the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta where the denial of licensure was set aside and the applicant physician was granted a new assessment in light of a denial of procedural fairness.
