FACT PATTERN – PART B Joseph Kutar meets with you at your office to discuss a Highway Traffic Actmatter. While you are reviewing the certificate of oflence, Joseph reads the labels on some of the client files stacked on your desk. “I know that landlord," he says, indicating one oi the files. "I used to live in one of their buildings. a real slum.” You move the files to the floor behind your desk. Then you ask Joseph some questions about the Highway Traffic Act matter, taking notes oi his answers. Based on what he tells you oi the matter and your review oi the certificate of offence, you advise him to plead down to a lesser offence with fewer demerit points. When he hears this, Joseph’s behaviour becomes belligerent and threatening. "I’m a courier,” he says. "Any more demerit points and I can’t drive. I’ll find someone else who knows what they’re doing!” He grabs the certificate of offence off your desk and leaves your office. A few days later. you have some matters in traffic court. Outside the courtroom, you get into a conversation with a couple of other paralegals who do a lot of traffic court work. One oi them, Alice Fisher, saysjokingly to you, "I’m doing some work for a former client of yours, one .JK. He told me he had to fire you because you kept giving him bad advice. What’s the real story?" You change the subject and start talking about how difiicult it is becoming to find parking near the courthouse. Several people are sitting or standing close by and can overhear your conversation. Referring to the Paralegal Rules of Conduct and other applicable legislation, discuss some professional and practice management issues that arise based on the above facts.
