Paralegals/SABS Representatives
On May 1, 2008, under the provisions of the Access to Justice Act, 2006, the Law Society of Upper Canada (Law Society) assumed responsibility for the regulation of paralegals, including SABS representatives.
Following the release of Bulletin No. A-04/08, FSCO received inquiries about the scope of the Law Society’s oversight and whether complaints about Insurance Act contraventions should continue to be addressed to FSCO.
Although the Law Society now regulates paralegals and SABS representatives, complaints regarding contraventions of the Insurance Act and regulations, including unfair or deceptive acts or practices, should still be directed to FSCO’s attention.
