Manitoba Securities Commission — Real Estate Hearings

Real estate agents and brokers facing Manitoba Securities Commission hearings under the Real Estate Services Act — including discipline, registration, or enforcement proceedings — can be represented by Neil Kaplan.

Manitoba Securities Commission Hearings

The Manitoba Securities Commission regulates Manitoba’s capital markets and administers The Real Estate Services Act, the statute governing Manitoba’s real estate industry. Real estate agents and brokers facing Manitoba Securities Commission hearings under the Act — including discipline, registration, or enforcement proceedings — can be represented by Neil Kaplan.

What This Covers

Neil represents real estate agents and brokers facing allegations of contravening The Real Estate Services Act. The Manitoba Securities Commission holds several types of hearings depending on the matter — including discipline, registration, and enforcement proceedings — typically following an investigation by Commission staff. These matters can affect your registration and ability to practice, so early representation matters.

Investigations and Hearings

Commission staff investigate complaints and conduct within the industries the Commission regulates. Where an investigation leads to proceedings, the matter comes before the Commission for a hearing, and the Commission can make orders and impose sanctions under the Acts it administers. A registrant who receives an inquiry or a notice of hearing is in a legal process with legal consequences, and the record created during the investigation follows the matter into the hearing — which is why these files are built on the statute and the documented record from the first letter, not reconstructed afterward.
