Follow Up - Disbarred Lawyer

This is a follow up to my previous post of yesterday - Disbarred Lawyer.

Someone on Tuggbs posted the following: 

 Code of Professional Conduct - BC Law Society

Section 6.1-4 (Suspended or disbarred lawyers)

Without the express approval of the lawyer’s governing body, a lawyer must not retain, occupy office space with, use the services of, partner or associate with or employ in any capacity having to do with the practice of law any person who, in any jurisdiction,

(a) has been disbarred and struck off the Rolls,

(b) is suspended,

(c) has undertaken not to practise,

(d) has been involved in disciplinary action and been permitted to resign and has not been reinstated or readmitted,

(e) has failed to complete a Bar admission program for reasons relating to lack of good character and repute or fitness to be a member of the Bar,

(f) has been the subject of a hearing ordered, whether commenced or not, with respect to an application for enrolment as an articled student, call and admission, or reinstatement, unless the person was subsequently enrolled, called and admitted or reinstated in the same jurisdiction, or

(g) was required to withdraw or was expelled from a Bar admission program.

amended Apr 2013

"The rules in this Code should guide the conduct of lawyers, not only in the practice of law, but also in other activities."
