The province's law society told an adjudication tribunal it was not suggesting that Susan LeDrew, QC, had acted maliciously, but had been reckless when she withdrew clients' trust money without ensuring her records were in order.

LeDrew, 52, was subject to a trust audit in December 2018 and a subsequent investigation identified a total trust shortfall of $35,843.32. According to an agreed statement of facts, LeDrew had inappropriately withdrawn the shortfall amounts and failed to document the transfers, using the money for personal purposes.

LeDrew had begun to replenish the account after becoming aware of the issue and has since returned all the funds.
