Law of professions — Professional responsibility — Regulated occupations — Revocation of license — Insurance agents — Applicant was insurance salesperson licensed by Insurance Council of British Columbia — Allegations of improper access to private information were made — Council recommenced four-year cancellation of license — Applicant’s appeal to Financial Services Tribunal was dismissed but four-year cancellation of license varied to four-year suspension — On judicial review, applicant raised for first time issue of ineffective assistance of counsel before both Council and Tribunal — Chambers judge dismissed his application for judicial review and Court of Appeal, in turn, dismissed appeal — Court of Appeal held that chambers judge committed no reversible error in declining to exercise his discretion to grant relief — Whether chambers judge erred in exercise of discretion.
The applicant, Mr. Jalloh, is an insurance salesperson licensed by the Insurance Council of British Columbia, which recommended a four-year cancellation of his license for improper access to private information. Mr. Jalloh’s appeal to the Financial Services Tribunal was dismissed but the four-year cancellation of his license was varied to a four-year suspension. On judicial review, Mr. Jalloh alleged, for the first time, ineffective assistance of counsel before both the Council and the Tribunal. The chambers judge dismissed his application for judicial review and a unanimous Court of Appeal, in turn, dismissed his appeal. The Court of Appeal held that the chambers judge committed no reversible error in declining to exercise his discretion to grant relief.
