British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Tak (Re), 2014 LSBC 27 (CanLII):
In Law Society of BC v. Welder, 2005 LSBC 49, the respondent did not remit collected GST to the government, but instead diverted the funds to meet other expenses. The panel stated, “This Panel views the taking of those monies given to a lawyer for a specific purpose and used by that lawyer for his own purposes as a serious breach of a fiduciary obligation.”
