The applicant, a lawyer, brought an interim motion seeking to nullify his suspension by the Law Society of Ontario for non-payment of a costs award.
The court dismissed the motion, noting that the applicant had already paid the costs award, rendering the issue moot, and was currently suspended for entirely different reasons related to professional misconduct.
The court found the applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence, failed to serve the Attorney General regarding his constitutional challenge, and failed to establish irreparable harm or that the balance of convenience favoured him.
