Purpose of This Page
This page is provided so that members of the public can review the documented facts, chronology, and outcomes connected to the 2019 corporate/business petition involving Brookswood Counselling Services and the closure of that business.
Its purpose is to identify the different organizational, regulatory, and court processes involved and make the available records accessible to the public in one place. The page is provided for credential verification, factual reference, and public-record context.
The page is not intended to reopen the matters described below or ask readers to reach conclusions beyond what the records themselves establish. Because the organizational review, regulatory review, and court proceeding were separate processes with different purposes, they are presented separately below.
The court record included below is a corporate/business petition involving the dissolution and disposition of Brookswood Counselling Services. The petition was filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia as Court File No. S198938. The petition involved business owners and directors of Brookswood Counselling Services. Its scope concerned the corporate/business closure and did not include claims arising from the provision of clinical counselling services. Where institutional and legal documentation is available, it is linked directly so that readers can review the underlying record for themselves.

Key Public-Record Questions
The following questions summarize important distinctions in the public record and legal process. The supporting documents linked on this page provide the factual record for the answers below.
Was the petition settled out of court? How did the court petition conclude?
+
No. The petition was dismissed by court order (Court File No. S198938) on September 11, 2020.
This corporate/business matter concluded by order of the court, rather than through an out-of-court settlement. In this case, it is an error to say the matter was “settled out of court.”
Was the 2019 Supreme Court of British Columbia matter a lawsuit?
+
No. The 2019 Supreme Court of British Columbia matter was a corporate/business petition concerning the dissolution and disposition of Brookswood Counselling Services. A petition is not a lawsuit.
Are court filings the same as court findings?
+
No. Court filings are not findings. Materials filed by parties in a court proceeding may contain claims, statements, or positions, but they are not judicial findings unless a court adjudicates them and makes findings of fact.
Are affidavits judicial findings of fact?
+
No. Affidavits are not judicial findings of fact. Affidavits may contain statements filed by individuals, but those statements do not become findings of fact unless they are tested, adjudicated, and accepted by the court.
Were the women whose claims appeared in the 2019 affidavit material patients of Dr. Dadson at Brookswood Counselling Services?
+
No. They were the same three professional colleagues involved in the business ownership disagreement—one business partner and two associates seeking an ownership interest in Brookswood Counselling Services. None of the women had ever been patients of Dr. Dadson at Brookswood Counselling Services. Those claims were addressed and concluded through two separate BCACC reviews.
Did the court adjudicate the affidavit content?
+
No. The court could not adjudicate the affidavit content within a petition proceeding.
The affidavit material was filed by the petitioner within a corporate/business petition concerning the dissolution and disposition of Brookswood Counselling Services. Because the affidavit material was filed within a petition process confined to corporate/business issues, the court was constrained by the scope of that legal process and could not adjudicate the affidavit content within it.
What was the determination of Dr. Dadson’s professional registration body, the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC)?
+
The BCACC review concluded with no disciplinary action, suspension, restriction, practice limitation, or other sanction. Dr. Dadson has maintained continuous BCACC registration since 2000 and remains registered and in good standing.
Regulatory Reviews and Proceedings
November 2018 – Initial BCACC Review
In November 2018, during a period of changes concerning the ownership of the business, involving a business partner and two associates who were seeking to acquire an ownership interest, a matter was brought before the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) for review.
The matter was reviewed and concluded within ten days, with no further regulatory action.
January 2019 to March 2019 – Veterans Transition Network Review
Between January 2019 and March 2019, the Veterans Transition Network (VTN) reviewed matters arising from an interpersonal disagreement involving another VTN contractor. That individual was also a director of Brookswood Counselling Services and was involved in the circumstances that preceded the petition concerning the closure of the business.
The review was initiated by VTN and conducted by an external mediation and consulting firm retained by the organization. The review concluded in March 2019 and found the concerns and allegations under review to be without substance.

February 2019 – BCACC Review Initiated
In February 2019, a second matter arising from the same circumstances was brought before the BCACC. The association commenced a formal regulatory review.
2019 Supreme Court of British Columbia Matter
August 2019 – Petition Regarding Corporate Dissolution
In August 2019, a petition was filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia seeking the dissolution and disposition of a jointly owned corporation and its associated business interests.
Legal Structure of the 2019 Corporate Petition
The 2019 Supreme Court of British Columbia matter was a corporate/business petition concerning business dissolution and disposition. A petition is not a lawsuit. Court filings are not judicial findings. Affidavit content filed within that petition was not judicial findings of fact and could not be adjudicated in that legal process. The consent dismissal only closed the corporate/business petition. The judicial-boundary constraints of the petition itself explain why the affidavit content remained unadjudicated.
Regulatory Outcome
March 2020 – BCACC Review Concluded
After approximately one year of review, the BCACC concluded its process in early March 2020. Following that review, the association determined that no disciplinary action, suspension, restriction, practice limitation, or other sanction was warranted.
Throughout the review process, Dr. Dadson’s registration remained active and uninterrupted. He continued to practise in good standing before, during, and after the conclusion of the review.
Official BCACC documentation confirms continuous registration and good standing since July 11, 2000.

Conclusion of the Court Proceeding
September 11, 2020 – Supreme Court Petition Dismissed
The petition was dismissed by court order (Court File No. S198938) on September 11, 2020. This corporate/business matter concluded by order of the court, rather than through an out-of-court settlement. In this case, it is an error to say the matter was “settled out of court.”
The court order closed the corporate/business petition and ended the legal proceeding between the parties.
