LSUC APPEAL PANEL SETS ASIDE CUNNINGHAM DISBARMENT


  A Law Society of Upper Canada Appeal Panel chaired by Mark Sandler set aside the disbarment of prominent African-Canadian lawyer, Karen Cunningham on May 16th, 2012.  The panel allowed the appeal against findings that Ms. Cunningham knowingly assisted in mortgage fraud and failed to be honest and candid with lender clients.  The LSUC will have to determine whether it would be in the public interest to proceed to a new hearing in light of all the circumstances the Panel ruled.
