Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the lawyer’s conduct fell under disciplinary supervision under the Federal Lawyers Act
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The conduct was inseparably linked to his professional activity as a lawyer authorized to act as a notary in Zug, so Article 12(a) BGFA applied.
Extrahierte Begründung
His efforts to retain or regain notarial authority were connected to his lawyer status, not private conduct, because Zug only allows registered lawyers with Zug patent and residence to notarize.
