Former deputy attorney general in N.B. sent to prison for 3 years for theft of $481,000
Yassin Choukri gambled away funds of his Fredericton law firm
A former high-ranking New Brunswick justice official was led out of a Moncton courtroom on Tuesday afternoon by sheriffs, headed to prison for three years after gambling away his law firm clients' money.
Yassin Choukri, 56, was sentenced after pleading guilty to stealing a total of $481,148 from his clients while serving as a private lawyer in Fredericton between 2014 and 2016.
Court of King's Bench Justice Robert Dysart issued the sentence recommended by the Crown prosecutor and Choukri's defence lawyer.
The sentence was recommended after Choukri pleaded guilty earlier this year just before he was set to stand trial.
"Taking into account all the circumstances in this case, including the guilty plea, and recognizing that courts are generally required to accept a joint recommendation unless it undermines public confidence in the administration of justice, I am satisfied that the joint recommendation, in this case, is both reasonable and in the public interest," Dysart said in French.
As you have admitted, your criminal acts resulted in considerable consequences.
- Justice Robert Dysart
Choukri appeared to show little reaction in the courtroom when Dysart read the sentencing decision.
As Dysart reached the conclusion of his decision, he asked Choukri to stand.
"As you have admitted, your criminal acts resulted in considerable consequences," Dysart said.
"Your conduct was dishonest. It constituted a violation of your professional obligations to your clients and has affected the reputation of your fellow lawyers.
"Despite your acts being fuelled by addiction, it doesn't lessen the impact on victims. Your guilty plea and your acceptance of responsibility are important steps in your rehabilitation."

Crown prosecutor Vicky Doucette told reporters outside the courthouse she wasn't surprised the judge accepted the sentencing recommendation. Doucette said the time Choukri will serve falls within the range of sentences imposed in similar cases.

At a sentencing hearing Dec. 8, Doucette told Dysart that Choukri was responsible for holding client funds in a trust account.
Doucette said Choukri would gradually withdraw money from the trust accounts in instalments of several thousand dollars to repay his credit card debt.
As his gambling addiction increased, the prosecutor said, Choukri was warned by his bank that his trust account was at risk.
In an attempt to cover the shortfall, he borrowed the maximum amount he could and deposited it in his trust account. But it still wasn't enough.

By late September 2016, two cheques drawn from the trust account had bounced. On Sept. 29, 2016, he fled Fredericton without notice to his clients.
Choukri was eventually found in Mississauga, Ont., where he had started a program for people with a gambling addiction.
He was arrested and brought back to New Brunswick in 2020. He was charged and released on bail pending trial.
The court heard some of those who lost money were compensated by the New Brunswick Law Society's compensation fund. The fund can reimburse clients for losses resulting from the fraud or dishonesty of a lawyer.
Choukri stood addressing the judge for more than 15 minutes at the sentencing hearing earlier this month apologizing for his actions.
And on Tuesday, more than seven years after fleeing the province, he was led away to prison.
Outside the courthouse Tuesday, his lawyer Gilles Lemieux said Choukri is embarrassed by his actions.
He said he tried to overcome his gambling addiction in Ontario and knew he would have to come back to New Brunswick to face the consequences of his actions.
Choukri was once a law partner of former premier Bernard Lord and served as the chief of staff in Lord's office before being appointed deputy attorney general in 2003.
He left the position in 2006 after Lord lost the provincial election. In 2010, the David Alward government appointed Choukri as the public intervener for hearings before the Energy and Utilities Board.

3 years sought for Fredericton lawyer who gambled away client funds
Yassin Choukri served as New Brunswick's deputy attorney general in early 2000s
Seven years after a former Fredericton lawyer fled the province after gambling away hundreds of thousands of dollars of his clients' money, he stood before a judge in Moncton apologizing.
"I am ashamed of everything that happened," Yassin Choukri said Friday in French, apologizing in a nearly 20-minute speech to his family, former clients, the legal profession and justice system.
Choukri spoke at his sentencing hearing, which began Friday, after pleading guilty earlier this year to stealing a total of $481,148 from his clients while serving as a private lawyer between 2014 and 2016.
It was, as Crown prosecutor Vicky Doucette told reporters, a profound fall from grace for the 56-year-old.
"It is a cautionary tale," Doucette said. "This was a gambling addiction. It shows how high someone can be and how low they can fall. He is now a man that lives with his mother."

Choukri was once a law partner of former premier Bernard Lord and served as the chief of staff in Lord's office before being appointed deputy attorney general in 2003.
He left the position in 2006 after Lord lost the provincial election. In 2010, the David Alward government appointed Choukri as the public intervener for hearings before the Energy and Utilities Board.
Doucette and defence lawyer Gilles Lemieux jointly recommended a three-year prison sentence.
Doucette told Justice Robert Dysart that they are not seeking a restitution order, saying there's no prospect Choukri can repay the money.
"All of the funds that he stole from his clients — they've disappeared. They belong to the casinos now," the prosecutor told reporters outside the courthouse.
"It's a situation where Mr. Choukri, he gambled with his clients' money. He lost and now he's going to have to pay his debt to society. Unfortunately, it's not going to be a monetary debt. It's going to be a period of time in a federal institution."
Gambled away client funds
Doucette outlined the facts of the crime Choukri now admits.
She said that when Choukri resumed his private practice after leaving government, he developed a significant gambling addiction which led to considerable financial losses.
WATCH | Why the Crown sees Choukri as a cautionary tale:
Yassin
Choukri, a Fredericton lawyer who gambled away almost half a million
dollars of his clients' money, could get three years in prison.
As a lawyer in Fredericton he held client funds in trust accounts.
A total of $481,148 was paid into trust accounts that clients never received. Doucette said Choukri would gradually withdraw money from the trust accounts in instalments of several thousand dollars to repay his credit card debt.
As his gambling addiction increased, the prosecutor said, Choukri was warned by his bank that his trust account was at risk.

The Crown said the money was mainly used to repay cash advances from Casino New Brunswick in Moncton.

On Sept. 27, 2016, two cheques drawn from the trust account bounced. On Sept. 29, 2016, he fled Fredericton without notice to his client. The Crown said Choukri considered suicide.
Choukri was eventually found in Mississauga, Ont., where he had started a program for people with a gambling addiction.
Shirley MacLean, who served as the registrar of complaints of the Law Society of New Brunswick, told the judge that they were notified Choukri had disappeared and began investigating.
MacLean told the judge that almost immediately it became clear there were financial irregularities.

involvement in the case and how it was not a victimless crime. (Radio-Canada)
MacLean said trust accounts are only set up to get client funds which can only be disbursed under specific conditions.
"One of the first rules a law student is taught is that the money in a trust account is not yours," MacLean said.
The organization that regulates the legal profession suspended his licence and disbarred him in 2017.
MacLean said she was speaking at the sentencing hearing because it was not a faceless or victimless crime, saying some of his clients had money in a trust account from injury settlements which Choukri instead spent.
"They trusted Mr. Choukri with their money, and their hopes," MacLean said. "He deliberately misled them."
MacLean said the law society's compensation fund covered some of the losses Choukri caused.
Later in the hearing, Choukri stood and addressed the judge.
"It really is inexcusable and I recognize it," he said.
"I caused them troubles, embarrassment, delays and financial losses. And I am really disappointed in myself. I deeply regret all the wrongs that I have caused them, economically and otherwise."
The judge will issue his sentencing decision Dec. 19.

'Enough is enough': Law society calls on police to bring in runaway lawyer
Disbarred lawyer Yassin Choukri stole more than $720,000 from clients
The Law Society of New Brunswick is questioning the time it has taken the Fredericton Police Force to investigate a lawyer who stole more than $720,000 from clients before disappearing.
Yassin Choukri was disbarred in 2017 after a discipline hearing determined he misappropriated money from 10 former clients over several years.
The law society handed its evidence over to the Fredericton police in late 2017. So far, no charges have been filed.
"Enough is enough," Marc Richard, executive director of the law society, said in an interview Tuesday. "At the end of the day, we're asking the police to move with this file."
The Fredericton police initially said it would be "inappropriate" to comment, but later issued a 600-word statement detailing the steps taken by the force.

collar crime in the province. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
"While we respect the Law Society's position and frustration, given the multiple agencies, institutions, jurisdictions and complainants involved, the process can be slow and arduous," Martin Gaudet, the city's deputy police chief, said in the statement.
"Our intent is to continue to pursue any criminal charges that may arise from the ongoing investigation."
Richard had said the law society didn't have a clear answer for why the investigation had taken so long.
"It's not complicated, if the money's not there, it's a theft," Richard said. "This is not like a ponzi scheme or difficult to follow and trace the money."
'Complex' investigation
However,Gaudet described it as a "complex" investigation that began in December 2016 when two separate fraud complaints were filed.
New Brunswick is one of several jurisdictions in Canada where criminal charges must be pre-approved by a Crown prosecutor before being laid in court.
While the investigation was ongoing, the law society disbarment hearing in 2017 led to police receiving five more files related to the overall investigation.

station in August 2018 following a shooting that killed two members of
the force. (Catherine Harrop/CBC)
The statement said the Crown's office in New Brunswick declared a conflict of interest and forwarded the file to the Crown in Nova Scotia for consideration.
Police met with the Halifax prosecutor in July 2018, but charges were not approved at the time and further investigation was required.
The following month, two members of the Fredericton police were shot and killed, which Gaudet said affected staffing and led to a lapse in work on the case until January 2019.
Due to a lack of expertise in forensic accounting, the force contacted the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada and Forensic Accounting Management Group for help.
Last fall, it was determined that more information was required. Around that time, a new investigator was assigned to the case.
Loss 'significantly more' than first reported
Gaudet said the new investigator increased the total number of files - separate investigations under the umbrella of the overall investigation - from seven to nine.
Gaudet said the force estimates the investigation has "increased the total loss to significantly more than was first reported" by the law society.
The Nova Scotia Crown's office this month approved orders for information from three financial institutions, the statement said.
Gaudet said police are awaiting the information requested, which could result in a recommendation of charges once a forensic analysis is completed.
Largest case in decades
The law society considers it one of the largest cases of misappropriation of funds by one of its members in decades.
Richard said the case raises questions about how white collar crime is investigated while people accused of minor theft face swifter action.
Choukri was a law partner of former premier Bernard Lord and served as the chief of staff in Lord's office.
Choukri was appointed deputy minister of justice in 2003, but left government after the Progressive Conservatives lost the 2006 election.
He was appointed the public intervenor for hearings before the Energy and Utilities Board by the Alward government in 2010.
Choukri abandoned his legal practice and briefly disappeared in 2016.
Documents filed by the law society stated Choukri had a gambling problem and had received complimentary rooms and meals at Casino Moncton.
His whereabouts weren't known when the allegations against him first surfaced. During the discipline hearing in 2017, the law society revealed it tracked Choukri down at an apartment in Mississauga, Ont.
Richard said Tuesday he's not sure if Choukri still lives there.

Some of Choukri's clients were repaid through the law society's compensation fund, which comes out of the pockets of every lawyer in New Brunswick. That cost the law society $231,149.53.
The society also spent more than $121,000 to hire a custodian to oversee all of Choukri's files, plus another $43,000 to investigate the case.
The law society and Canadian Lawyers Insurance Association filed a statement of claim against Choukri in September 2019 seeking more than $270,000 related to the investigation, payments to his clients and other costs.
Choukri has not filed a statement of defence.

If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it." The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate. The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat. The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record and Lisa Spencer of CJCW. Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders. Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it." Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said. The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to register sex offenders rather than register the property of law abiding citizens." The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out. Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time, anyplace," Armstrong responded. As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate, candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making process for the June 28 vote. Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his favourite possessions—motorcycles. McKnight/KCR The Unconventional Candidate David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But…. By Gisele McKnight FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle." Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos. The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada. One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements. When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy. Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians. "I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum." The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he needed to change his life. "I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife." So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952 Panhead motorcycle. "Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact) experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask for anything, but you take what they offer." For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs and conversation all over North America. Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls himself. He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud Canadian and a "wild colonial boy." Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life. "But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It’s alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?" Amos has no intention of actively campaigning. "I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats." And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one. "I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about." What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few. "The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window. NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico. Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote. "There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote." Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name. "I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, ‘what the hell.’" ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Amos <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.

The > Ontario >>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the >>> judge had no involvement with the person or th>> lawyer. The Ontario >>> Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for >>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the >>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: >>> 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a >>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over >>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, >>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified. >>> >>> >>> 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been >>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to >>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from >>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the >>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial >>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by > the >>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield >>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that >>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge >>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances." >>> >>> >>> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an >>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the >>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of >>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification >>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of >>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous >>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. >>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), >>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying >>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory >>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential >>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the >>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. >>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and >>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value >>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19. >>> >>> >>> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular > circumstances >>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a >>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there > are >>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not > to >>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, >>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and >>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of >>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: >>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform >>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this >>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor > is >>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on >>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, >>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. >>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson >>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of >>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had >>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with >>> his former firm for a considerable period of time. >>> >>> >>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter >>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly >>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because >>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement >>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. >>> In these circumstances it ca>> trial judge could not remain impartial in >>> the case. The mere fact > that >>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a >>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he > would >>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former >>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw >>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour > a >>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six > years >>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving >>> events from over a decade ago. >>> (emphasis added) >>> >>> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter >>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or >>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made > it >>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the >>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of >>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for >>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with >>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have >>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he >>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any >>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had >>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is >>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since >>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would >>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in > Justice >>> Webb hearing this appeal. >>> >>> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man.

Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 >>> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a >>> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a >>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who >>> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as >>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving > Mr. >>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law. >>> >>> [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD.

Since he has indicated that this is an “American >>> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law >>> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a >>> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy. >>> >>> [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable >>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for > him >>> to recuse himself. >>> >>> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional >>> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding >>> the cross-appeal.

Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself. >>> >>> [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr. >>> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges >>> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote >>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004.

There is no indication that the letter >>> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr. >>> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason >>> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does >>> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. >>> >>> >>> III. Issue >>> >>> [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the >>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the > Claim >>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. >>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick >>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action? >>> >>> IV.

Standard of Review >>> >>> [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the >>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to >>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions >>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira >>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, >>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira].

that is regulated by the Bank Act (Canada), trust or loan company, credit union or a caisse populaire or other financial institution as defined in the Rules.
You must make it clear to the financial institution that you are
opening a trust account for your law firm and insist on certain
conditions. The account must be in your name, must have the words ‘in
trust’ included in its title, and must bear interest payable to the New
Brunswick Law Foundation (see below under Interest on Trust Accounts for
more information). You must also instruct the financial institution not
to withdraw any bank fees from this account. Only trust money may pass
through this account. Fees such as cheque order fees, or NSF charges for
a returned client cheque must be taken from your general account and
never from trust. In addition, the financial institution must be able to
return all cashed trust account cheques to you (Paragraph 2(1) (j) of the Rules).
If the financial institution is not able to meet these conditions,
you will not be able to keep your trust account at that financial
institution. Some financial institutions now store cancelled cheques at
their data centre. This does not meet the requirements of the Rules. You
must instruct the institution to return cancelled cheques, or an
acceptable electronic version of the front and back of the cheque to
you.
Make sure to open your trust account in advance of when you expect
to use it for the first time. It is not as simple as opening a bank
account and issuing a trust cheque that same day. You must set up your
records and client trust ledgers before you accept any trust money. See Appendix ‘B’ for a New Firm Checklist for Setting Up Trust Accounting Systems.
Notifying the Law Society
A lawyer who opens a trust account is required to give written
notice to the Executive Director of the Law Society of New Brunswick.
This notice is simply done by sending a letter to the Executive Director
and must include the following information:
-
the date the account is opened;
-
the name on the account;
-
the name of the financial institution; and
-
the account number.
Along with the notice that you have opened a trust account, you
must also obtain and file a letter signed by an accountant in which the
accountant certifies that you have a trust accounting system in place
that will allow you to comply with the Rules and that you have been
instructed in the procedure to be followed in order to operate the trust
accounting system. See subsections 6(1) and 6(2) of the Rules.
You may use the Notice of Opening or Closing a Trust Account form to notify the Executive Director that you have opened a trust account.
Types of Trust Accounts
Trust accounts are either general or specific. A general trust account
contains money received in trust from or held on behalf of more than
one client. In other words, a general trust account may contain all of
the trust money you hold for or on behalf of all of your clients.
A client may request in writing that you pay trust money into a specific trust account.
A specific trust account is an account that you maintain on behalf of a
specific client, and which is designated as such. The interest earned
on a specific trust account is the property of the client and will not
be paid to the New Brunswick Law Foundation. This type of trust account
may be appropriate, for example, if you are going to be holding a large
sum of money for a client for an extended period of time.
The Law Society recommends that you maintain only one, or
at most two general trust accounts. Experience has shown that where
numerous general trust accounts are held, there are more errors and
shortfalls, to say nothing of the increased bookkeeping fees.
