The Law Society brought a motion for an interlocutory suspension of the respondent paralegal's licence amid allegations of misappropriating trust funds.
The respondent sought an adjournment due to the late delivery of a voluminous supplemental affidavit containing new allegations.
The Tribunal granted the adjournment, finding it necessary for fairness.
The Tribunal declined to order an interim interlocutory suspension pending the return of the motion, as the respondent had already provided an undertaking not to provide legal services, which sufficiently mitigated any risk of harm to the public or the administration of justice.
