A now-suspended Toronto lawyer has been ordered by an Ontario court to pay two sets of clients more than $1 million after they sued him for keeping proceeds from the sales of their home and business.

Ping Tan, who is now retired, is a well-known figure in the Toronto Chinese community and has been a prominent ally of the Toronto Chinese consulate for decades.
