Well the court is required to hear the case prevented by the individual / corporation that files a civil case against the organization. As long as I dish out my $400/hour to have my lawyer fight the ruling by the association the courts hear both sides.
Again in a perfect world each member of APOS would stand up and say “fight the good fight” and we don’t mind you possibly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of our money in this one case, which we may or may not win, to make an example of this one member that you feel broke our code of ethics.
In reality, if the crown had just taken appropriate action none of this would be required or on the table in the first place.
