1. The Australian Capital Territory Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT) has found Canberra lawyer Aulich guilty of professional misconduct for taking off his pants during a meeting with a client. The tribunal heard that Aulich had removed his pants and underwear in front of a female client, claiming it was to demonstrate the discomfort he was experiencing due to a medical condition. The tribunal described Aulich's behavior as "completely inappropriate" and a "gross breach of professional standards."

2. Aulich, who has been practicing law in Canberra for over 20 years, argued that his actions were not intended to be sexual in nature and were instead meant to illustrate his medical condition. However, the tribunal found that Aulich's conduct was a significant departure from the expected standards of the legal profession and that his actions had a significant impact on the client's trust and confidence in the legal system.

3. The tribunal has ordered Aulich to be reprimanded and to pay a fine of $10,000. The decision also requires Aulich to undergo counseling and training on professional conduct and ethics. The tribunal emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity and trust of the legal profession, stating that Aulich's actions had the potential to undermine public confidence in the legal system.
