The Law Society of Upper Canada sought an injunction to prevent the respondent from practicing law or holding himself out as a lawyer.
The respondent operated McGuire Law Corporation and provided legal services in estates, divorce, and immigration matters, claiming he was acting as a clergyman assisting his congregants.
The court found the respondent was practicing law for profit and holding himself out as a lawyer, contrary to s. 26.1 of the Law Society Act.
The court granted the statutory injunction and awarded costs to the applicant.
