Law society accepts resignation of former PC party president Bill Smith'
The law society had received, and dismissed, formal complaints about Smith as far back as 2017
Quote:
The hearing report said Smith suffered from a "longstanding illness for which he continues to receive treatment."
After hearing evidence from Smith and a professional who treats him, the committee concluded his illness probably contributed to the poor judgment he exercised that led to the complaint.

Quote:
Court documents show Smith requested to be listed as inactive by the law society on Feb. 27, 2018 "due to health concerns."
Smith effectively stopped practising law on March 7, 2018 after the law society appointed a custodian to take control of his practice.
In February 2019, CBC News reported the law society was investigating Smith for misappropriating funds held in trust by his law practice.

Despite Smith's publicized legal and health problems, Health Minister Tyler Shandro in February appointed Smith as vice chair of the provincial Medical Appeals Board.
