Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
In December 2019, the applicant, who had a bachelor of law degree, was convicted of assaulting a correctional officer. After passing the examination of the École du Barreau in 2020, he requested entry on the Roll of the Order (“Roll”) of the Barreau du Québec (“Barreau”). On December 18, 2020, the applicant was sworn in and entered on the Roll. On December 23, 2020, the Barreau informed him that his entry on the Roll was being revoked because he had been sworn in before the committee for access to the profession made a decision on his admission. The applicant applied for an interlocutory injunction in order to be re entered on the Roll. The Quebec Superior Court dismissed the application for an interlocutory injunction. The Quebec Court of Appeal dismissed the applicant’s motion for leave to appeal.
