The appellant lawyer appealed a decision of the Law Society Appeal Panel revoking his license to practice law after he was found to be ungovernable.
The appellant argued that the panels misapprehended evidence regarding his remorse, character, discipline history, and a proposed supervision plan, and failed to consider systemic racism.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding that the disciplinary panels' decisions were reasonable, entitled to deference, and that the appellant failed to establish a causal connection between his race and the professional misconduct.
