Summary:
In September 1989, Dr. Town pleaded guilty to a charge of professional misconduct, as defined in
Ontario Regulation 448/80, as amended, in that he committed sexual impropriety with a patient,
contrary to s. 27(29); and in that he engaged in conduct or an act relevant to the practice of
medicine that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as
disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional, contrary to s. 27(32). The Discipline Committee
accepted this plea and found Dr. Town guilty of professional misconduct. The Committee also
accepted a joint submission as to penalty, and consequently ordered that Dr. Town's licence to
practice be revoked.
