Notes of Decisions

Under former similar statute (ORS 9.260)

Where attorney was deliberately seeking to avoid receipt of mail from Oregon State Bar, failed to pay his dues and was suspended for that failure, court applied this section and held that attorney was “subject to the power of the court in respect to matters arising prior to the” suspension of attorney. In re Coe, 302 Or 553, 731 P2d 1028 (1987)
