What is the effect of a decision of a hearing panel on disciplinary action in this matter?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Guo (Re), 2021 LSBC 47 (CanLII):
The Law Society of British Columbia (the “Law Society”) has filed for a review under section 47 of the Legal Profession Act of a decision of a hearing panel on disciplinary action in this matter (Law Society of BC v. Guo, 2021 LSBC 43). I am advised that the Respondent is about to file her own section 47 review notice. The parties jointly apply for a stay of the hearing panel’s order that the Respondent be suspended from the practice of law for one year, commencing December 1, 2021, pending the hearing of those section 47 reviews. As the President’s designate I made that order on November 26, 2021 and now provide reasons for it.
