2 - Ontario Court of Justice matters under the Provincial Offences Act (e.g. Highway Traffic Act offences).
3 - Summary conviction offences under the Criminal Code of Canada (maximum penalty less than two years incarceration).
4 - Administrative Tribunals (e.g. Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board, the Human Rights Tribunal, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board / Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal, the Social Benefits Tribunal, and many more).
5 - Alternative Dispute Resolution: Paralegals may represent client at mediation or serve as mediator or arbitrator.
6 - Commissioners for taking affidavits.
7 - Notary Public for witnessing or certifying, and attesting, the execution of a document, and certifying and attesting documents to be true copies of the original.
