The Court dismissed the respondents' appeal because the Investigating Committee's report did not contain the clear findings necessary to support a conclusion of misconduct (notably on the objective reasonable person element, the deliberateness and sexual nature of the touching) and there were disquieting procedural fairness defects; those omissions justified the quashing of the disciplinary outcome and compulsory retirement upheld on judicial review.
