McKinnon, Ronald James
On May 11, 2018, Madam Justice Dardi granted an injunction permanently prohibiting Ronald James McKinnon, of Vancouver, from engaging in the practice of law, falsely representing himself as a lawyer, and commencing, prosecuting or defending proceedings in court on behalf of others. The Law Society alleged that McKinnon, who is not and has never been a lawyer in Canada, falsely referred to himself as a lawyer, retired or otherwise, to several witnesses and purported to provide legal services with respect to a criminal law matter for a fee. The court also awarded the Law Society its costs at $3,495.33.
