What is the evidentiary threshold for obtaining an injunction under the Legal Profession Act?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from The Law Society of British Columbia v. Boyer, 2016 BCSC 342 (CanLII):

The evidentiary threshold for obtaining an injunction under the Legal Profession Act is low because the injunction merely operates to prohibit breaches of the statute, which is impermissible conduct in any event. I cite Mr. Justice Savage’s decision in Law Society of British Columbia v. Gorman, 2011 BCSC 1484, at para. 37, in that regard.
