What is the penalty for failing to be on guard or on guard?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Law Society of Ontario v. Boyko, 2018 ONLSTH 168 (CanLII):
As I noted in Law Society of Upper Canada v. Henry,[1] … the penalties in [the dupe] cases vary widely: generally, a suspension of from one to twelve months. Of course, there are different kinds or degrees of conduct that fall within the category of “failure to be on guard” or “dupe”; there is often related or additional misconduct; and there are contrasting levels of mitigating circumstances in individual cases.
