Lawyer Hong Guo, a former Richmond, B.C., mayoral candidate, has been declared “ungovernable” by the Law Society of British Columbia (LSBC) and disbarred from practising law in the province following a history of disciplinary actions against her that the regulatory body said was long and serious.

An LSBC investigation into work that Ms. Guo “was doing for individuals related to drug crimes” formed part of the evidence detailed in the law society’s Nov. 17 decision.
