Summary

Dawn Elizabeth Layden was acting as a limited dual agent in the sale of a property. She did not obtain a current title search for the property through her brokerage and instead provided the buyers a title search that she obtained from the seller which was incomplete and out of date. As a result, the buyers were unaware that the title to the property was encumbered by several charges, liens, and interests which limited their ability to build on the property.

Ms. Layden failed to act with reasonable care and skill, contravening section 3-4 of the Council Rules.

Ms. Layden failed to take reasonable steps to discover relevant facts about the property prior to the buyers' purchase, contravening section 3-3(h) of the Council Rules.

Results

A discipline committee of the Council has ordered the following:

  1. Ms. Layden's licence is suspended for 14 days, from October 12, 2016 to October 25, 2016, inclusive.
  2. At her own expense, Ms. Layden must successfully complete the Real Estate Trading Services Remedial Education Course.
  3. Ms. Layden must pay enforcement expenses of $1,500.00 to the Council.
