B.C. s legal watchdog has done a welcome about-face after a half-decade of persecuting a Victoria man for offering cheap legal services by surprisingly telling him that they might like him to keep it up.
The Nova Scotia Barrister’s Society Web site states the hearing panel of the society announced the one year suspension of lawyer Adam Rodgers back in March. The suspension was to commence on July 1. Following an application from Rodgers, stated the site, the panel decided the suspension will run from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022.
Under the new suspension, Rodgers is set to continue to adhere to the practice conditions and restrictions that were put in place by the Complaints Investigation Committee. Subject to the terms of this resolution, the
Legal Profession Act, and the Regulations, upon the completion of the period of suspension, Rodgers may return to practice without conditions or restrictions, stated the site.
