4th count: Starting on or around November 11, 2010, concerning an immovable, asking the OACIQ Assistance Department to intervene by alleging that a licence holder had asked him for a certain sum of money in order to “finish presenting” a promise to purchase on which he was personally designated as buyer, whereas he knew that no such offence had been committed, thus committing an offence under section 108 of Regulation respecting brokerage requirements, professional conduct of brokers and advertising.
5th count: In Brossard, between on or around January 5, 2011 and February 28, 2011, failing to cooperate with the investigation held by the assistant syndic:
a) by failing to respond as soon as possible to the latter’s requests regarding the holding of the meeting;

On June 30, 2014, the Discipline Committee ordered a suspension of Niroshan Rajakone’s real estate broker’s licence (Licence No. E9294) for concurrent periods of sixty (60) days on each of counts Nos. 2a) and 2 b), a consecutive period of sixty (60) days on count No. 4, and periods of sixty (60) days on each of counts No. 5a) and 5b), to be served concurrently with each other and with any other suspension period.
