  1. File # 14-439

    Mr. Shen in his capacity as agent for the buyer of a residential property located in Delta, BC, committed professional misconduct when he failed to confirm with the City of Delta that the suite contained in the property was legal, when in fact it was not.

      1. forged the buyer's signature on an addendum to the contract of purchase and sale, which addendum stated that the adjustment and possession dates had been extended to new dates, which dates the buyer had previously refused, and continued to refuse, to agree to; and
      2. forwarded the addendum by fax to the seller's lawyer, for delivery to the buyer's notary for conveyancing purposes,

        and
