Paralegal's licence revoked due to permanent incapacity from brain injury; $15,000 costs ordered upon reapplication.
Following a finding that the respondent paralegal was incapacitated due to a brain injury and neurodevelopmental disorder, the Law Society Tribunal considered the appropriate disposition.
The respondent sought to continue practising with restrictions or supervision, while the Law Society sought revocation.
The Tribunal found that the respondent's condition was permanent and likely degenerative, and that he lacked insight into his disability.
Concluding there was no realistic prospect of his return to practice, the Tribunal revoked his licence to protect the public and ordered him to pay $15,000 in costs, payable only if he reapplies for a licence.
