TORONTO — Standard Paving Limited has been fined $17,500 by the Ontario Court of Justice at Kingston for applying a facsimile of a professional engineer’s seal to design drawings without the knowledge or consent of the professional engineer.In August 2019, the company was retained by a homeowner to assist in rebuilding their home in Clarendon Station, Ont. after it had been damaged in a fire.
On Oct. 10, Standard Paving Limited pleaded guilty to one count of breaching section 40 and one count of breaching section 40 of the Professional Engineers Act in connection with this conduct. Justice David Auger imposed a $17,500 fine on Standard Paving Limited. Matthew Howe and Tabir Malik, both from the Toronto law firm Polley Faith LLP, represented PEO on the matter.
