What is the consequence of a second citation for failure to respond?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Payne (Re), 2010 LSBC 28 (CanLII):
Law Society of BC v. Tak, (supra), concerned a second citation for failure to respond. The panel imposed a suspension of 45 days, commenting (para. 12): [The] fact that the Respondent has recently been cited and sanctioned for the same type of misconduct as in this matter is strongly suggestive of the need for specific deterrence.
