What is the consequence of a Licensee’s conduct in a sexual assault case?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Law Society of Ontario v. Grant, 2022 ONLSTH 11 (CanLII):
The Licensee’s conduct impacted victims who were particularly vulnerable as a result of their youth, socio-economic or employment situation. His conduct exploited the power imbalance created by his status as a lawyer and was predatory in nature. It is conduct of the worst sort and must be subject to a severe penalty: Law Society of Upper Canada v. Martin, 2011 ONLSHP 95 at paras. 8 and 12.
