Key legal question
Whether a professional ban should be imposed on the respondent for three years.
Extracted holding
No professional ban was warranted because the lower court could reasonably find the risk of reoffending as an asset manager to be insufficiently established.
Extracted reasoning
The court upheld the prognosis-based assessment that the respondent had shown insight and remorse, was processing his past, and would likely act lawfully in the future. His efforts to earn money and his financial distress did not, on this record, justify a renewed professional ban.
