R. v. Singleton, 2010 BCSC 1734
[475] With respect, what is at issue here is Mr. Singleton’s mental intent as he engaged in all the activities relevant to the offences charged as discussed in the evidence. Being disinterested in practicing law within the standards of the profession, and believing in arrogance that the mechanisms in place to ensure adequate professional standards are only there for others may indeed result in incompetence, but what lies at the heart of this matter is not Mr. Singleton’s incompetence. He chose to practice law on his own terms and in his own way, which at times were clearly outside the bounds of accepted practice. Many people may be incompetent in one area or another, but incompetence, whether it be deliberately cultivated, or inadvertently achieved, is not a licence for dishonesty.
