Because the Law Society's principal basis for imposing conditions on the appellants' practising certificates was not established by evidence, the Decisions were set aside and the matters remitted to the Law Society for reconsideration; the Law Society, as the primary disciplinary decision-maker, should reassess whether and what conditions are appropriate after considering the appellants' submissions. Costs were apportioned so that the appellants recover 50% of their costs due to a split on a major statutory construction issue resolved for the Society.
