What is the penalty for misconduct in a professional conduct case?

In determining the appropriate penalty, Law Society of BC v. Ogilvie, [1999] LSBC 17, sets out a number of factors to be considered. In this case, the primary factors include the need for a specific deterrence, and the possibility of remediation, particularly in light of the Respondent’s prior discipline record, as well as a general deterrence and the need to ensure the public’s confidence and integrity of the profession.
