The issue is skirted by agency rules. Agents can represent people in Provincial Court (although are restricted if not flat out barred in QB)

The biggest issue with agents (and self-reps, generally) is that they fall outside the law society rules. I have dealt with some pretty nasty people who, if were lawyers, would be sanctioned so damn fast but cannot be.
