Key legal question
Whether the criminal conviction concerned conduct incompatible with the attorney profession under Art. 8(1)(b) BGFA
Extracted holding
Yes. The offenses, committed while acting as a notary-attorney, were incompatible with the profession and justified removal from the register.
Extracted reasoning
Forgery of documents and seriously dishonest conduct destroy the trust and reliability required of attorneys; the proportionality assessment was satisfied given the gravity of the misconduct and the appellant's lack of insight.
