Practice permit cancelled for Parikh by ACP after 2020 suspension
ACP finalizes practice permit cancellation for Parikh after a 2020 suspension; he is ordered to pay a $5,000 fine plus $73,387 in investigation, hearing and appeal costs.
Parikh’s practice permit cancelled by the regulator known as ACP, and his registration with the body has been revoked following a suspension that began on April 6, 2020. The decision confirms he has remained out of practice since that suspension, and the regulator has also imposed financial penalties. In addition to a $5,000 fine, Parikh is required to cover investigation, hearing and appeal costs totalling $73,387.
Regulatory ruling finalizes cancellation
The regulator’s action replaces the suspension that was first applied on April 6, 2020 and converts it into a permanent removal from the register. The cancellation terminates Parikh’s authority to practise under the permit and strips his registration with ACP.
Public records maintained by the regulator will reflect the cancellation as the current standing on his file. The regulator’s order also sets out the monetary sanctions and the obligation to pay associated costs.
Financial penalty and cost breakdown
The formal penalty imposed on Parikh consists of a $5,000 administrative fine. In addition, the regulator has assessed costs of $73,387 related to the investigation, hearing and appeal phases of the matter.
Those costs are described as covering investigative work and the procedural expenses of formal hearings and subsequent appeals. The combined financial obligation will require Parikh to satisfy both the fine and the detailed cost award as part of the regulator’s disposition.
Suspension began April 6, 2020 and practice remained halted
Parikh was placed on suspension on April 6, 2020 and has not practised since that time. That period of inactivity now spans more than six years as of July 14, 2026, during which the regulatory process continued toward this resolution.
The move from suspension to cancellation indicates the regulator completed its review and adjudicative steps without reinstating his permit. The record shows the status change occurred after the investigation, hearing and appeal processes referenced in the cost award.
Effect on public safety oversight and patient access
With the practice permit cancelled and registration revoked, Parikh is no longer authorised to provide regulated services in the jurisdiction overseen by ACP. The cancellation is intended to ensure public protection by removing a registrant from the regulated roster when adjudicative findings warrant such action.
Patients who previously saw Parikh will need to consult the regulator’s public register to identify alternative practitioners. The regulator typically updates its public listings to reflect cancellations and any conditions or restrictions on other registrants.
Procedural context and appeal references
The inclusion of appeal-related costs in the $73,387 total indicates that the matter proceeded through multiple procedural stages. Those stages commonly include investigation, a disciplinary or registration hearing, and subsequent appeals where parties challenge decisions on procedural or substantive grounds.
The regulator’s order finalizing the cancellation and setting the financial obligations effectively closes the administrative process unless further legal avenues are pursued. Any additional challenges would need to follow the statutory appeal channels available under the regulator’s governing legislation.
Parikh’s file will remain part of the regulator’s public record, showing the suspension date of April 6, 2020, the decision to cancel his registration, and the financial orders imposed. That record will serve as the formal account of the regulator’s action.
The cancellation and associated financial orders are significant outcomes of a regulatory enforcement process that began in 2020 and culminated in this formal resolution.
