The suspension has been stayed pending a S.47 review.

A hearing panel of the Law Society has ordered that Abbotsford lawyer Amarjit Singh Dhindsa be suspended for professional misconduct. The panel ordered that the four month suspension commence April 1.

The hearing panel found that, by disclosing his Juricert password to his staff and permitting them to affix his electronic signature to documents filed with the Land Title Office for over three years, Dhindsa had committed professional misconduct

In determining the disciplinary penalty, the panel considered the frequency of the wrongful conduct over a long period of time and his significant professional conduct record, which included several conduct reviews, a practice standards review and two previous findings of professional misconduct. He has applied for a review of the second finding of professional misconduct.
