On May 21, 2019 the Law Society of British Columbia issued a decision to Michael Murph Ranspot. It was found that the Law Society has proven both allegations in the Citation and that the preponderance of evidence supports a determination of conduct unbecoming a lawyer pursuant to section 38(4)(ii) of the Legal Profession Act with respect to allegation 1 and professional misconduct pursuant to section 38(4)(i) of the Legal Profession Act with respect to allegation 2.
The allegations were
1. assaulting CC and pleading guilty to assault causing bodily harm, which constitutes conduct unbecoming a lawyer, pursuant to section 38(4) of the Legal Profession Act (the "Act"), and
2. acting in a conflict of interest when he represented CC in family law proceedings, contrary to one or more of rules 3.4-26.1, 3.4-28 and 3.4-34 of the Code of Professional Conduct for British Columbia (the "BC Code"), because he:
(a) was in a personal, romantic relationship with CC; and
(b) loaned funds to CC without ensuring she had independent legal advice regarding the loans, which constitutes professional misconduct, pursuant to section 38(4) of the Legal Profession Act.
