Executive overseeing B.C. car sales industry misled others into believing she's a lawyer, petition alleges

from the article

One of the top officials at B.C.'s regulator for car sales has been misrepresenting herself as a lawyer when she hasn't practised in more than three decades, according to court filings from the Law Society of B.C.

Loraine Lee, the chief operating officer and deputy registrar for the Vehicle Sales Authority (VSA), is the subject of a petition filed May 13 in B.C. Supreme Court that calls for an injunction preventing her from acting as a lawyer or holding herself out to be one.

The petition alleges that Lee has not only misrepresented herself in her position at the VSA, but also in her role as a board member for two B.C. tribunals — the Mental Health Review Board and the Passenger Transportation Board.
