The Court allowed the Law Society's appeal, holding the Tribunal's penalties were manifestly inadequate given the respondent's sustained, serious and flagrant breaches and persistent failure to respond; the appropriate sanction was suspension from practice for 3 years with post-suspension supervisory conditions for 3 years and an order for the respondent to pay the Law Society's costs as assessed.
