Court held the LCRO had statutory power to vacate and refer the Standards Committee's determination back under ss 209 and 211 read with s 202, and the LCRO conducted an independent review; however, the LCRO breached natural justice and the practitioner's legitimate expectation by failing to give advance warning of the atypical adverse outcome (vacatur and referral) and an opportunity to respond, so relief was granted requiring reconsideration consistent with lawful procedure.
