The High Court held the disciplinary process was vitiated by denial of fair hearing: the committee proceeded without the appellant despite reasonable, documented requests for adjournment and available alternative dates within the four‑month window; a disciplinary finding reached in the appellant's absence could not meet the required standard of proof and thus the Board's order, the committee's report and appointment were set aside, the fine ordered returned and costs awarded.
