The self-represented applicant brought a motion to convert his application for judicial review against the Law Society of Ontario into an action.
The application challenged the Law Society's licensing examinations as ultra vires and alleged Charter violations.
The Divisional Court dismissed the motion, noting that it is an intermediate appeal and review court that does not hear actions or oral testimony.
The court transferred the matter to the Superior Court of Justice, struck the Notice of Application, and directed the applicant to file a Statement of Claim.
