Request for Review

If you feel the reasons for your complaint being dismissed were incorrect.

If you believe that the reasons for the complaint dismissal were not correct, you can file a Request for Review of the decision to dismiss your complaint. These requests are reviewed by an independent committee consisting of lawyers and public representative volunteers called the Complaints Review Committee.

The Committee can either:

  • confirm that the decision to dismiss your complaint was correct; or
  • refer your complaint back to the Director of Professional Responsibility with direction to either begin or complete an investigation of your complaint.
