The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario regulates the insurance sector, pension plans, loan and trust companies, credit unions and caisses populaires, the mortgage brokering sector, co-operative corporations in Ontario, and service providers who invoice auto insurers for statutory accident benefits claims. The Financial Services Tribunal adjudicates services to the citizens of Ontario, in a fair, independent and efficient manner that promotes public confidence in the sectors regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) and protects the public interest in accordance with its legislated authority. Effective advocacy before the Financial Services Tribunal (FST) requires experience and a thorough understanding of the regulatory framework at the FSRA and the FST. It also requires working effectively with tribunal adjudicators, mediators, and investigators who are highly specialized. Clients have a right to fairness which involves some degree of input in decision-making and the right to an impartial and independent decision maker. The importance of achieving success at the FST cannot be overstated as the opportunity to have a FST decision subsequently reversed on appeal or review is limited.
The lawyers at Wray James LLP regularly act for licenced individuals, businesses, organizations and individuals with respect to FSRA complaints and investigations. The experience and knowledge of our lawyers enable us to guide our clients and advance their cases through the complex web of laws, regulations, guidelines, policies and procedures involved in proceedings before the FSRA and the FST.

We also assist clients with appeals of FSRA decisions and orders to the FST.
