LSUC v. De Landro, [2006] L.S.D.D. 10 at para. 129 states, “the evidence demonstrates that the member deviated so substantially and so repeatedly from the standards of a reasonably competent solicitor in the real estate field, and from the instructions given to him by his lender clients and from his undertakings, that the only logical inference that can be drawn from his actions is that the member “knowingly” participated in this wrongful conduct.”
