Appearances: Alex Kens, for the applicant Respondent, self-represented

REASONS FOR DECISION ON CAPACITY ORDER

1Sophie Martel (for the panel):– For reasons reported at Law Society of Ontario v Salvona, 2025 ONLSTH 170 (capacity finding reasons), we found that Adam Michael Salvona (the Licensee) has been incapacitated and remains incapacitated in the absence of a treatment plan for his borderline personality disorder.

2We found that it was appropriate to make an order under s 40 of the Law Society Act, RSO 1990, c L.8. We invited written submissions in respect of a draft order.

3We have now received those submissions. These are our reasons regarding the capacity order.

CAPACITY FINDING REASONS SUMMARY

4We will not revisit our findings on capacity, which are final and which are explained in our earlier reasons. Briefly, we concluded that the evidence supported the Licensee’s past incapacity relating to his stimulant use and borderline personality disorder. We also concluded that he remains incapacitated in the absence of a treatment plan for the borderline personality disorder.

5We found that there was a need for an order under s 40 as there was a risk to the public interest if the interlocutory order suspending the Licensee’s licence was lifted without restrictions on how and under what conditions the Licensee may provide legal services. We concluded that the capacity order should address treatment for the substance use disorder (in remission) and the borderline personality disorder.

6Since our capacity findings (past and present) are final, we will not address the Licensee’s written submissions that dispute these findings.

7We will, however, address the submissions we received regarding the appropriate order, and more specifically, as they relate to the draft order distributed with our previous reasons.

CAPACITY ORDER REASONS

Submissions

8In its submissions dated December 16, 2025, the Law Society indicated that it had no submissions to make as it agreed with the proposed order.

9While our capacity finding reasons requested that the parties provide their submissions within four weeks of our decision (released November 19, 2025), we later granted the Licensee’s request for an extension to provide his submissions, which are dated January 16, 2026.

10The Licensee’s submissions are not limited to the draft order. They also address our findings of present incapacity and our findings concerning the borderline personality disorder. As indicated previously, our findings on these matters are final and are set out in the capacity finding reasons. Therefore, we will, address only the Licensee’s submissions regarding the draft order and the Licensee’s proposed alternative framework.

Employment restriction

11The draft order provides that the Licensee should only be able to work as an employee for an employer approved by the Executive Director, Professional Regulation and sets out some criteria regarding such employment. It also indicates that the Licensee will not operate a trust account or handle trust funds.

12The Licensee submits that there should be no employment status restrictions. In other words, he argues against being able to provide legal services only as an employee. He submits that he faces significant barriers to employment including a criminal record and geographical limitations. The Licensee wishes to provide legal services in London where there are fewer employment opportunities and where, according to the Licensee, there exist “conservative hiring practices.”

13We accept that the Licensee faces significant barriers to employment. However, we must consider the protection of the public. Given the Licensee’s medical conditions, including the substance use disorder (in remission) and the untreated borderline personality disorder, the protection of the public requires that the Licensee only provide legal services under supervision as an employee. Our order attempts to minimize the barriers to employment by providing some flexibility in how the employer will supervise the Licensee. Until the Licensee is further removed from his substance use disorder and has undergone treatment for his borderline personality disorder, it is too risky to allow him to practise, including handling trust funds, without supervision.

Unannounced testing for substance use

14The Licensee submits that substance use testing should be of limited duration, recognizing his current and past sobriety. We accept this submission, which is why the draft order gives credit to the Licensee for his past two years’ efforts toward sobriety and reduces the duration of testing from five years (as initially proposed by the Law Society) to three years with a progressive reduction in the number of unannounced tests for the second and third years. The Licensee has not proposed any alternate schedule for substance use testing.

Treatment and care

15The draft order sets out various provisions regarding the required treatment and care plans. The Licensee submits that there should be recognition of his work and efforts in his initiation of addiction recovery programs, trauma counselling, relapse prevention, and self-guided treatment. We agree with this submission, which is why the draft order indicates that the Licensee is to continue his identified treatment and care plans, as he discussed them at the hearing and as set out in the draft order. The draft order further recognizes that the Licensee is not currently under the care of a treating specialist and as a result, permits his family physician to be the designated treating regulated professional until he can access care from a specialist.

16The draft order requires that the Licensee remain on the wait list for a dialectical behaviour therapy program and that he attend and complete that program when it becomes available. The reasoning behind this particular treatment is explained at para 67 of the capacity finding reasons and relies on the opinion of Dr. Chatterjee. This treatment is the recommended treatment to assist in developing skills to regulate anger and manage interpersonal and professional distress. There was ample evidence, as set out in the capacity finding reasons, of the Licensee’s anger issues, which need to be addressed if the Licensee is to provide legal services.

17The draft order also sets out medical reporting requirements. The Licensee asks that medical reporting focus on functional capacity rather than diagnoses to keep his personal and medical documentation private. Most of the reporting requirements found in the draft order focus on the Licensee’s ability to meet his professional obligations as a licensee. One aspect of the reporting requires the treating regulated professional to detail the Licensee’s diagnosis and symptoms. We agree with the Licensee that such information is sensitive health information. We note that the required reporting is to be provided to the Law Society’s Regulatory Compliance department. As such, unlike these reasons and the record of proceeding (except those exhibits marked not public), they are not public. They are intended to ensure that the Licensee is complying with our order and that he can meet his professional obligations while he is providing legal services. We note that the draft order reduced the frequency at which medical reports must be provided (as compared with the Law Society’s proposed terms), which will provide the Licensee with some additional privacy protection in addition to rendering the submission of reports less onerous to the regulated professional.

Discrimination arguments

18The Licensee has also made various discrimination arguments, although these are somewhat vague. He submits that the employment and supervision restrictions are discriminatory, are not rationally connected to public protection, and will either exclude him from the profession or significantly decrease his chances of obtaining gainful employment. He further submits that the entire order is discriminatory.

19To invoke human rights protection, a licensee must prove the following. First, he must prove that he has a personal characteristic that is protected from discrimination under the Ontario Human Rights Code, RSO 1990, c H.19. Second, that he experienced an adverse impact or differential treatment with respect to the Law Society’s role as a professional regulator, Third, that the protected characteristic was a factor in the adverse impact: Law Society v Khan 2018 ONLSTH 131 at para 61. We accept that all three elements are met in this case. The Licensee has a disability, he has experienced an adverse impact because the Law Society (and this Tribunal) is of the view that he cannot practise the profession without restriction, and his disability is a factor in the adverse impact. The Law Society must then accommodate the Licensee’s medical disability up to the point of undue hardship.

20At this stage, as stated in Law Society of Ontario v Campos, 2022 ONLSTH 137 at para 79, human rights and regulatory obligations merge. The Law Society has an obligation to accommodate but it also has the duty to protect the public interest. The Law Society must be able to assure the public that with accommodation the Licensee can perform the essential duties of the profession. The terms of the capacity order are the accommodation terms. While we understand the Licensee’s position that they restrict his ability to practise, we must also consider the serious consequences that would flow from not adhering to such restrictions given the Licensee’s history with substance use, the risk of relapse, and his ongoing inappropriate behaviours that were on display throughout these proceedings.

21We have attempted, where appropriate, to remove some of the more restrictive terms initially proposed by the Law Society, such as mandating how a potential employer will supervise the Licensee, reducing the timelines and frequency of substance use testing, and allowing the current treatment plan to continue for a certain amount of time until the Licensee can access more specialized care. The provisions of the capacity order remain, in our view, the least restrictive that will accommodate the Licensee’s disability while fulfilling the Law Society’s mandate to protect the public interest.

ORDER

22The Licensee’s submissions have not persuaded us to change any provision in the draft order, which we now finalize.

23The panel orders:

c. engaging in behaviour which gives the Executive Director a reasonable suspicion that they are attempting to avoid any treatment ordered, such as, for example, routinely making themselves unavailable for testing,

then their licence to provide legal services shall be suspended immediately and continuing indefinitely thereafter until the Licensee has satisfied the terms outlined in paragraph 28.

The Licensee can lift a term of suspension imposed in accordance with paragraphs 26 or 27 by providing a current written report, satisfactory to the Executive Director, from the Treating Regulated Professional that:

a. Describes the circumstances of the breach and confirms that these circumstances have been addressed; and

b. Confirms that the Licensee is not incapacitated within the meaning of section 37 of the Law Society Act, as:

ii. a continuing course of treatment or the continuing use of an assistive device is not or is no longer required in order for the Licensee to be capable of meeting their obligations as a licensee.

Unannounced Testing

The Licensee shall provide Regulatory Compliance with their current contact information (i.e., mailing address, email, and telephone number) within five business days of this order being made and shall advise Regulatory Compliance immediately in writing if their contact information changes.
During any period where the Licensee’s licence is suspended pursuant to the terms of this order, within one month prior to the date they return to providing legal services, they shall participate in an unannounced substance use test in accordance with the terms outlined in this order:

a. If the test is negative, the Licensee may return to providing legal services.

b. If the test is non-negative and not excused by the Medical Review Officer, the Licensee’s licence shall remain suspended, and they cannot return to providing legal services until they have provided a negative result.

While this order is in effect, whenever the Licensee is in an active practising status, they shall, in addition to any testing recommended or ordered by the Treating Regulated Professional, participate in unannounced substance use testing of bodily substances (including but not limited to hair and urine testing) at a rate of between twelve tests to eighteen tests per year for the first year, six to twelve tests per year for the second year and four to six tests per year for the third year.

a. The Licensee shall provide dates he is unavailable for testing to Regulatory Compliance at least four weeks in advance.

b. The Licensee shall ensure they have availability for such testing at least three non-consecutive days of every week, except for emergency situations, which the Licensee must substantiate by providing documentation to Regulatory Compliance.

c. The ultimate scheduling of the unannounced testing is up to the sole discretion of the Law Society.

The unannounced testing protocol shall be managed and facilitated by a Third-Party Administrator (Testing Provider) chosen by the Law Society, with collection sites in Canada.

a. Notification regarding the dates for tests shall take place according to the discretion of Regulatory Compliance and/or the unannounced testing protocol. The Licensee shall proceed to an approved collection site to provide a specimen. If the Licensee fails to adhere to this procedure, then it will be deemed a missed test.

b. The Licensee will be available for unannounced testing communications in accordance with the unannounced testing protocol. If the Licensee does not follow the communication method put it place for unannounced testing, this will be deemed a missed test.

c. The Licensee shall attend on time for any testing appointments.

i. If the Licensee is more than one hour late, then this may be deemed a missed test.

ii. If the Licensee fails to attend a scheduling testing appointment, then that non-attendance shall be considered a breach of this order.

d. The Licensee shall present government issued photo identification at each testing appointment. If the Licensee fails to present photo identification and is therefore unable to proceed with testing, then that will be deemed a missed test.

e. The Licensee shall provide a specimen to the Testing Provider under a proper chain-of-custody protocol at each testing appointment. If the Licensee fails to do so, then it will be deemed a missed test.

The Licensee shall prioritize attending for substance use testing except for emergency situations, which the Licensee must substantiate by providing documentation to Regulatory Compliance.
If the Licensee is unable to attend at a scheduled testing appointment, then they are required to advise Regulatory Compliance in advance and provide proof acceptable to Regulatory Compliance explaining their reasons for non-attendance within 48 hours of the scheduled testing appointment.
The Licensee shall be tested for at least the following: methamphetamines, opioids, and cocaine.
The Licensee shall advise Regulatory Compliance regarding which available collection site they would like to attend within five business days of this order being made. Regulatory Compliance shall make best efforts to arrange for testing at this location, or alternatively, the closest alternate location.
The Licensee shall immediately advise Regulatory Compliance if at any time they wish to permanently or temporarily attend for testing at a different collection site.

a. If the Licensee is unable to attend at a collection site as a result of their failure to inform Regulatory Compliance of their location preference, then this will be deemed a missed test.

If the Licensee is contacted by the Medical Review Officer employed by the Testing Provider to discuss a non-negative or invalid test, then the Licensee shall co-operate with the Medical Review Officer, which might include the need to provide copies of prescriptions or other personal health information.
If the Licensee submits a non-negative test which is not excused by the Medical Review Officer, they may elect to proceed with confirmation testing. However, confirmation testing will not delay the start date of the suspension. The cost of such testing will also be the Licensee’s responsibility, and they must arrange payment directly with the Testing Provider.

Possible Suspension – Unannounced Testing

If the Licensee,

a. misses any tests (including being deemed to miss a test, in accordance with the above-noted terms) that are not excused by Regulatory Compliance;

b. fails to co-operate with the Medical Review Officer or provides insufficient information, resulting in an unexplained non-negative or invalid test;

c. submits a test that is non-negative for the presence of methamphetamines, opioids, and cocaine or any other illicit substance or licit substance for which they do not have an active prescription, which is not excused by the Medical Review Officer; or

d. engages in any behaviour which gives the Executive Director a reasonable suspicion that the Licensee is attempting to avoid the unannounced substance use testing regime outline herein, by, for example, routinely making themselves unavailable for testing;

then the Licensee has breached the terms of this order. Their licence to provide legal services shall be immediately suspended as of the date they are notified of the breach in writing by Regulatory Compliance for at least 30 days, continuing indefinitely until the breach has been rectified to the satisfaction of the Executive Director.

The Licensee can rectify any breach by:

a. providing a current written report, satisfactory to the Executive Director, from the Treating Regulated Professional in accordance with paragraph 28 of this order; and

b. submitting to an additional unannounced substance use test conducted by the Testing Provider and providing a negative result.

If the Licensee is going to be out of the country, for vacation or otherwise, and is unable to comply with treatment or the testing requirements specified in the above paragraphs, then they must provide notice to the Regulatory Compliance department. Unless Regulatory Compliance approves this absence in writing, the Licensee’s licence to provide legal services shall be suspended throughout, continuing indefinitely until they have submitted to an unannounced substance use test conducted by the Testing Provider upon their return, and the testing result is negative.

a. the Licensee has provided legal services for a period of three years, calculated cumulatively;

b. the Licensee demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, that there are no ongoing criminal proceedings, and they have not been charged with or convicted of any offences regarding which their health condition(s) was a factor for a period of five years, calculated concurrently;

c. the Law Society has no ongoing investigations or proceedings regarding the Licensee’s alleged conduct in which their health condition(s) was a factor;

d. after satisfying (a), (b), and (c), above, the Licensee provides a current written report, satisfactory to the Executive Director, from the Treating Regulated Professional confirming that the Licensee is not incapacitated within the meaning of section 37 of the Law Society Act, as:
