The Court held the Tribunal applied an incorrect, overly narrow test for professional misconduct; on the correct analysis respondent intentionally purported to act as a solicitor and made misleading representations in solicitor's certificates in breach of s56(2) and those misrepresentations amounted to misconduct in a professional capacity; the matter is remitted to the Tribunal for penalty and costs.
