Dear Colleagues

 

Does anyone have an authority where the tort of collateral abuse of process was applied to a process initiated in a private disciplinary tribunal ie an internal disciplinary process in a club or corporation? All the Australian cases seem to focus on abuses initiated in judicial proceedings. My facts are basically:

 

Company is a government sponsored and licensed provider of training in health specialities

Director X of said company uncovers administrative abuses by other directors

Director X reports the company to the authorities

Company initiates disciplinary moves to expel Director X while the investigation is ongoing

 

Any suggestions gratefully received

Kind regards

Cameron
