Justin Phu Pham was described as a mortgage broker at a sentencing hearing in Vancouver provincial court last week, but the agency that regulates mortgage brokers in B.C. said his registration expired in 2016.
Justin Phu Pham is not a mortgage broker, according to the BC Financial Services Authority, but that’s how his lawyer described him at a sentencing hearing in Vancouver provincial court last Thursday.
Burnaby RCMP had pulled Pham over during a roadblock on Sumner Avenue at about 4:45 a.m., and he was unable to produce a driver’s licence, according to information presented by Crown prosecutor Ariel Bultz at the Sept. 7 hearing. He also faced criminal charges for personation and wilfully resisting or obstructing a police officer, as well as another charge of driving without a licence, in relation to an incident on Oct. 26, 2021, but those charges were stayed at the end of the hearing as part of a plea deal.“Quite a number, your Honour, a fairly lengthy driving record,” Bultz said.
But Cooper said he didn’t have a “good explanation” for why Pham was again driving without a licence last September.“You have to know that if you get another conviction for driving without a driver’s licence or driving while prohibited, the penalty’s going to be much greater,” she said. “You’re going to have a longer period of suspension; you may face jail.”
