CASE: Council of the Law Society of NSW v Zhukovska [2019] NSWCATOD 66

Recommended by Leah Murphy (formerly Leah Johnson)

Myroslava Zhukovska was the solicitor for Dulcie Barbara Heane who was elderly and living in aged care.

Within a short period of time, Zhukovska got financial control of Dulcie's money, sold Dulcie's home, made unsecured loans from Dulcie's money to her clients and herself, and paid herself $76,000 for all her work from Dulcie's money.

Can a lawyer do all that and still be permitted to practice law?
