It won't stop them from filing, but any judge who knows how to read will see that and kick that case right into the bin, they can keep suing and suing but that doesn't mean they won't keep losing.
Miriam Yaniv vs Strata (again) June 2021 - Sequel to the 2019 lolsuit. Written by Jonathan.

Again, this is the kind of thing you do when you are too stupid to realize that not only are you not, in fact, the smartest dude in every room but are, in fact, pretty damned dumb and flailing, actually,
$35,000 is the maximum in BC small claims.
But does Yaniv know that?
To be publicly branded, by a court, as a lying racist con artist would be enough for anyone to disappear and take stock but here he is still trying for those $$$.

Just read this article about a 27 year old self-made billionaire... "In just two years, Johnny Boufarhat has turned his online conference-hosting platform, Hopin, into a company valued at over £4bn." https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57517669 and immediately thought of jonny and his IT storage problems.
Not only has Boufarhat 500+ employees but he has no office and he flits between rental properties.
So it begs the question why does jonathan gill yaniv need extra storage space in another flat which is so small the lodger has to sleep on a sofa? I know he's lying through his backside but I'm so hoping someone asks what he has in storage, for his defunct IT business, that his own strata storage facility,and that of his mother, can't accomodate? <shrugs>

I'm confused. Here in the States you can go to jail if you try to present yourself as a lolyer when you're not. I know paralegal students are warned explicitly about this during their classes; they can walk clients through paperwork but they have to be careful not to do anything that could be interpreted as "giving legal advice" otherwise they could get into serious trouble.
I know in Canada paralegals can actually do things like write wills and appear in courts or something, at least I think it's Canada. In any case, some places do things differently wrt people who aren't lolyers, and of course anyone can represent themselves.
Small claims court is, of course, designed so people don't need lawyers and all that (lol fivever, you always need a lawyer), but I'm pretty sure that down here I couldn't represent someone else in small claims without getting in serious trouble. But here it just looks like the Strata complained but is there any real penalty for this?

What is even weirder is how didn't they even ask for any documentation, or any credentials (like Canadian Bar Association Membership), I don't really see this person being any persuasive to begin with so how the fuck did they even let them file the damn suit?
Also, straight from the Canadian Bar Association (https://www.cba-alberta.org/Publica...-Fall-2015-Issue/Unauthorized-Practice-of-Law):
Complaints of Unauthorized Practice are reviewed and investigated by the Law Society. When a report is received, and it is clear that Unauthorized Practice has taken place within the meaning of section 106(1) of the Act and that an exception does not apply, the first step is to seek voluntary compliance by the subject of the complaint. If voluntary compliance is not forthcoming, the Act contemplates two additional remedies: the first is for the Law Society to apply for an injunction in the Court of Queen’s Bench;17 the second is to prosecute the non-lawyer in the Provincial Court.18 Prosecutions are conducted by the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General (the “Ministry”) or by designated counsel of the Law Society as agents of the Crown pursuant to Agency Agreements with the Ministry. The Act contemplates penalties of escalating fines or imprisonment for a term of up to six months for Unauthorized Practice.
So yeah, it's also illegal in Canada.

If filing suits works anything similar up there as it does down here then they wouldn't ask for credentials at the court house. The way it works here is anyone can file anything with the courts. The clerks don't check anything beyond making sure the heading is largely correct. They stamp it with their machines to indicate time/date it was filed, give it a case number, and take your money if it's the initial pleading in the lolsuit. If not, that part is skipped.
They don't even check to make sure the papers are signed. It's not the clerks job to make sure the paperwork is correct. In fancy court that's the job of the lawyer who really relies on his paralegal. In theory the lawyer reads what his paralegal writes up, but in practice a lot of lawyers just sign their name and send the paralegal to the court house (or put the stuff in the mail). If the lawyer fucks it up he's the one who gets yelled at by the judge, not the clerk.
Here the lawyers do put the bar license number in their signature portion of the pleading. I don't know if that's unique to my state or if every state does that.
I can't imagine Canada differs too much at the court house clerk level. Especially not for small claims.

One of the more common exceptions to this sort of thing is generally an adult child acting in aid of an elderly parent or relative in matters before small local judicial bodies such as small claims court that would not typically require the services of an attorney to ressolve. Local fenceline squabbles with the neighbors and such. But the key element is generally the son or daughter is acting to help peacefully and clearly ressolve the matter. Judges like that. Yaniv is the other thing. Yaniv complicates simple and stupid things.
