The following excerpt is from Macgregor (Re), 2019 LSBC 26 (CanLII):
In Law Society of Upper Canada v. Sussman, 1995 CanLII 537, [1995] LSDD No. 17, a one-month suspension was imposed after the respondent was found to have advised a client to breach a court order with respect to parental access to children. Unlike in the case before us, the respondent did not take any actions to attempt to alter the terms of the court order. Sussman, a lawyer with more than 50 years’ experience, had no record of being the subject of proceedings before the law society.
