In Smith v. Real Estate Council of Ontario (Div Court, 2024) the Divisional Court dismissed a JR challenging a RECO (Real Estate Council of Ontario) Appeal Panel disciplinary decision. These review cases are few in the courts.
Here the court briefly illustrates the administrative RECO procedures used to take the case to this level:
[1] Darrah Smith is a real estate agent who was found by the Discipline Panel of the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) to have breached her professional Code of Ethics by including the wrong amount for the property taxes and local improvement charge in a property listing.
[2] Ms. Smith unsuccessfully appealed the Discipline Panel’s decision to RECO’s Appeal Panel.
