Law Society Regulatory Proceedings for October 2010
Toronto, November 3, 2010: The Law Society of Upper Canada regulates the lawyers and
paralegals of Ontario in the public interest. The Law Society ensures that all lawyers and licensed
paralegals in Ontario meet standards of learning, professional competence and professional conduct
that are appropriate for the legal services provided.
As part of this mandate, the Law Society's Hearing and Appeal Panels recently heard the following
matters. Hearing and Appeal Panels are responsible for determining the appropriate disposition of
cases.
Joseph Alphonse André (1999) de Vanier
Décision : Le titulaire de permis est suspendu pour une période de 2 mois, à compter du début du
mois de décembre 2010. Pendant la suspension, le titulaire de permis se conforme en tous points aux
exigences et aux lignes directrices concernant les avocats qui font l’objet d’une suspension ou qui
s’engagent à ne pas exercer le droit. Advenant qu’à la fin de la suspension définitive de 2 mois, il n’y
ait pas de cosignataire approuvé par la directrice de la réglementation du Barreau habilité à agir en
qualité de cosignataire, le titulaire de permis sera suspendu indéfiniment jusqu’à ce qu’un
cosignataire soit approuvé par la directrice de la réglementation du Barreau. Le titulaire de permis ne
peut pratiquer le droit ou fournir des services juridiques dans le domaine du droit immobilier pour une
période d'un an à partir de son retour en pratique. Après sa suspension, le titulaire de permis doit se
conformer à des conditions spécifiques.
