{{SCase1|R v Escott, <br> [http://canlii.ca/t/gr5vh 2016 CanLII 24770] (NL PC){{perNLPC|Linehan J}} | suspended sentence | "Mr. Escott, who was the president of a local bowler’s association, forged the signature of the association’s treasurer to eight cheques, totalling more than $50,000. There was no associated fraud involved, the cheques involved legitimate expenditures and Mr. Escott did not financially benefit from the forgeries. The matter came to light, however, when a number of cheques were returned by the bank, as there were insufficient funds in the association’s account. Mr. Escott’s actions damaged the reputation of the association and ... constituted a “serious breach of trust”. As against this aggravating factor, Mr. Escott entered a guilty plea, made an early admission to police and had no prior criminal record."
