The BDVRM doesn't indicate a legal representative

WDRP cannot be represented by Barakett, because he's not a practicing lawyer in Quebec. Only lawyers can represent companies in Quebec.Lawyers in Quebec have informed me of that in the past.

It's a real pain when you have some small dispute that you could probably do on your own.

Here's the info from the Quebec Bar Association:

1.2 YOUR RIGHT TO REPRESENT YOURSELF
In theory, you don’t have to be represented by a lawyer. Whether by choice or not, you can represent yourself before Québec’s civil courts.

However, you should be aware that a legal person (a company, organization, etc.) must generally be represented by a lawyer when it is involved in a lawsuit. For example, if the action is taken by or against a company, partnership, syndicate of co-owners or non-profit organization, being represented by a lawyer is mandatory.
