Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Law Society of Upper Canada v. Owusu-Sechere, 2016 ONLSTH 92 (CanLII):
In Law Society of Upper Canada v. Cooper, 2009 ONLSAP 7 at para. 19 the appeal panel held that “a hearing panel should not ‘tinker’ with the joint submission, as long as it is not contrary to public interest, by substituting another penalty that is also within the range of reasonableness. Simply put, only truly unreasonable or ‘unconscionable’ joint submissions should be rejected.”
