DISCIPLINE HEARING REPORTS ISSUED BY THE

LAW SOCIETY OF ONTARIO

 

Shows how the Law Society discipline of lawyers is a farce and a fraud. You really should read about this, if you deal with any lawyer.

(Let Might Prevail)

 

The LSO Considers 4 anonymous, false allegations that CanLaw was rude sometime between 1996 and 2004  to be worse than these examples:

 

• Convicted Repeated Criminal Prostitute Kathryn Smithen admitted to bar. Details Click here.

 

• Convicted Pedophile Ronald Davidovic admitted to the bar. Details click here.

 

• Murderer Rohan George: Convicted of manslaughter, ex-gang member now licensed as LSO lawyer. Details Click here

 

Here are just a few examples of the many Lawyers who were Disbarred, then Reinstated

 

• Stuart Edward Hendin:  Disbarred then Reinstated Applicant allowed to resign instead of being disbarred, for misappropriation where he self-reported to the Law Society and repaid all the funds taken.
• David Marcovitch:  Disbarred then Reinstated was found to have engaged in professional misconduct for and misappropriating monies in the amount of $4,000.00, more or less, from the Estate of G.H. and/or the Estate of T.H.  discharged from bankruptcy
• Stephen Myles Bookman; Disbarred then Reinstated convicted of fraud and sentenced to 2.5 years' imprisonment.
• Spencer Black:    Disbarred then Reinstated
• Timothy Michael Kinnard:    Disbarred then Reinstated
• David Elliot Waterhouse:    Disbarred then Reinstated
• Karen Rosalee Caroline Cunningham:    Disbarred then Reinstated
• Darryl Waisberg and Jennifer Greenwood were found by the court to be in violation of the Commissioners for taking Oaths Act by submitting an affidavit with forged signatures. The LSO sat on the complaint for 7 years and in the end did nothing.

 

Law Societies protect lawyers from consumers. They do not protect consumers from lawyers.

THE LAW SOCIETY OF ONTARIO, LSO, ALLOWS

CONVICTED CRIMINALS TO BE LAWYERS.

It also routinely reinstates many disbarred lawyers.

Formerly LSUC, the Law Society of Upper Canada

WHY DID THE LAW SOCIETY OF ONTARIO

PUBLISH IN 2006 A “NOTICE TO THE PROFESSION”

CONDEMNING CANLAW?

The LSO/LSUC issued their defamatory, cowardly “Notice to the Profession” (their Fatwah)  to the legal profession in June, 2004 hoping to put CanLaw out of business to they could resume charging people for referrals.

 

1. Up until maybe 2005, the LSO (formerly LSUC) was charging consumers about $8 to obtain a lawyer referral

 

2. Consumers had to dial a 900 number for referrals and that system automatically charged the $8 fee to their phone bill. For this LSO/LSUC would provide the name of just one lawyer, usually the next lawyer on the list.

 

3. In July, 1996, CanLaw opened for business online and offered free referrals to anyone who asked.

 

4. In 1996, the LSO/LSUC grossed about $287,000.00 a year for their lawyer referral service based on their 1996 annual report which suggests that LSO put some major new program in effect in 1996 to maximize and generate new referral revenue and CanLaw’s emergence ruined their plans.

 

5. As a result of CanLaw’s success offering free referrals, the LSO/LSUC referral revenue plummeted and by 2004 it was virtually zero.

 

6. Shortly after that they dropped their referral service fee and offered free referrals.

 

7. The LSO/LSUC issued their “Notice to the Profession” (their Fatwah)  to the legal profession in June, 2004 hoping to put CanLaw out of business to they could resume charging people for referrals.

 

a. The Fatwah was based entirely on 4 extracts from anonymous emails allegedly quoting rude comments made by CanLaw.

 

b. The Fatwah was published in Ontario Reports, the Globe and Mail, Lawyers Weekly, Canadian Lawyer, elsewhere and online. It is still posted on the LSUC web site and widely copied on the internet. It was republished by the media in 2017.

 

c. There is not a month goes by that someone does not throw this in our face.

 

8. At no time has the LSO/LSUC permitted CanLaw to respond to their accusations. No hearing was held. When CanLaw served a Libel Notice in July 2004, the LSUC responded by threatening that “WE WILL CRUSH YOU.” All attempts to meet with them over the past 16 years have been ignored.

 

9. CanLaw and Kirby Inwood categorically deny sending the email snippets in the LSO/LSUC Notice to the Profession. Their false accusation was just an excuse to attack and hopefully destroy CanLaw primarily to enable them to return to charging for referrals.
