What is the law society’s position on penalty for knowing participation in mortgage fraud?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Law Society of Upper Canada v. Stanley Charles Ehrlich, 2008 ONLSHP 72 (CanLII):

Bolton v. Law Society, which has frequently been cited with approval by disciplinary panels here in Ontario, emphasizes that penalties are designed to address not only specific and general deterrence, but to maintain the reputation of the profession and to sustain public confidence in its integrity. The latter explains why “considerations which would ordinarily weigh in mitigation of punishment” have less effect in cases such as those involving knowing participation in mortgage fraud. Bolton v. Law Society also supports the view, earlier expressed, that there is nothing new in acknowledging that revocation of licence is the appropriate disposition, absent exceptional circumstances.
