Naomi Arbabi's suspension 'necessary to protect the public,' Law Society of B.C. says.

Arbabi identified herself in the claim as "i, a woman" and said the case would be tried in the "naomi arbabi court."

As part of her lawsuit, Arbabi said her claim was "based on law of the land, and not a complaint based on legal codes acts or statutes" and asked for compensation equal to $1,000 a day for every day the glass divider has been in place.

Oh my God the best part was how the article ended...

In November, Arbabi agreed to meet with a CBC reporter to discuss her lawsuit, but upon arrival, declined to answer any questions. Instead, she read out a notice warning of consequences if a story were to be published without her consent.

"As such harm is a very grievous trespass, i, shall claim remedy in the amount of $500,000 for such trespass plus $5,000 a day for as long as the trespass continues," the notice read.

That's a baller move by the reporter.
