GIST: "Carter is a psychological associate, a step below a psychologist. He cannot diagnose mental disorders unless supervised by a fully-qualified psychologist. Justice Paul Bellefontaine called the complaints before him a case of “sour grapes” — that the complainants would have likely not been concerned with Carter’s qualifications had their child custody outcomes been favourable. Bellefontaine pointed to the “generic ignorance of the public” in knowing the difference between psychologists and psychological associates — and said Carter should not be held criminally responsible for failing to tell his clients outright that he was a psychological associate. Outside the courtroom Friday morning, a grinning Carter called the judgment an “enormous relief” for both him and his family and said he hoped to put the “devastating” experience behind him."
