On December 1, 2025, a Panel of the College’s Hearing Committee issued a decision that rendered findings of professional misconduct against Dr. Manivasan Moodley.

On Friday, January 16 commencing at 0900 at the offices of the College, the Hearing Panel will resume the hearing  to hear submissions from counsel for the College and counsel for Dr. Moodley respecting the sanctions to be ordered as a result of the Panel’s findings of professional misconduct.

The Hearing Panel has issued an exclusion order which prevents members of the public from attending the Hearing.  Media are permitted to attend and may report details of the Hearing after confirmation from the Panel that the information does not violate the  publication ban previously ordered.

Any media who plan to attend the Hearing may do so only in person, and through advance notice to the College by emailing communications@cpsns.ns.ca.  Notice of attendance must be provided no later than noon on Wednesday, January 14.

For media attending the Hearing in person:

1. Subject to the publication ban, the media may take video footage or photographs on the College’s premises before evidence is called. No video images or photography may be taken while evidence is being presented.
2. Audio recording by the media is permitted for note-taking purposes, but not for broadcast purposes.
3. In order to preserve the publication ban, no live transmission of the evidence is permitted, through live tweeting, blogging or other simultaneous source of reporting. Media are otherwise permitted to report information about the Hearing, but only after the parties have had the opportunity to consider whether evidence that has been given may be subject to the publication ban. During the mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks, and prior to the lunch break and at the end of the day, the Hearing Panel will canvass the parties to determine if there is evidence that may be subject to the publication ban and will provide direction to the media in this regard prior to the media reporting on the preceding evidence. Social media accounts will be monitored and any violations will be reported to the Chair of the Hearing Panel for further action.

Media attending the Hearing will be required to sign in and acknowledge agreement with these directions.
