Ontario home buyers, sellers and real estate professionals have another way to learn about disciplinary outcomes in the industry. In a November 10, 2026 stakeholder update, the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) announced that its Discipline Committee decisions are now available on CanLII, the Canadian legal information platform.
Easier access to decisions that were already public
According to RECO, the collection brings historical and current public decisions into a searchable national legal database. Readers can look for decisions by keyword, case name or date without paying a fee or creating an account. RECO says this changes how easily the decisions can be found—not its discipline process or publication practices.
Why this matters for buyers and sellers
A disciplinary decision can help explain the professional standards expected of Ontario real estate registrants and how particular conduct is assessed. Making those decisions easier to locate gives consumers more information to work with when learning about the sector.
Read the full decision rather than relying on a headline or search excerpt. Each matter has its own facts and outcome. A decision is not a substitute for checking an agent’s current registration or obtaining advice about your own transaction.
A learning resource for real estate professionals
RECO also points to the collection as a resource for brokerage training, supervision and compliance discussions. Decisions can illustrate how obligations under the Trust in Real Estate Services Act, 2002 (TRESA), its regulations and the Code of Ethics are applied in individual cases.
For those working with buyers and sellers in Durham Region and elsewhere in Ontario, reviewing real cases can provide a useful starting point for conversations about professional responsibility and consumer protection.
