The proposed hearing concerns matters for which the Respondent may be disciplined as a Regulated Person of IIROC, pursuant to Part 10 of IIROC Dealer Member Rule 20.

The hearing concerns allegations that the Respondent:

    
    1.  From or about February to July 2008, Dettelbach, as an Investment
        Representative of a Member of IIROC, engaged in business conduct or
        practice which is unbecoming or detrimental to the public interest in
        that she misappropriated funds by improperly transacting
        approximately 50 cancel and correct orders, without instructions,
        resulting in a benefit to two clients, and a detriment to
        approximately 15 other clients, at her member firm employer, contrary
        to IIROC Rule 29.1; and

    2.  In or about November 2009, Dettelbach, as an Investment
        Representative of a Member of IIROC, failed to co-operate with IIROC
        in that she failed to attend at a properly constituted IIROC
        interview, contrary to IIROC Rule 19.5.
    

IIROC formally initiated the investigation into the Respondent's conduct on July 23, 2008 . The violations occurred when the Respondent was an Investment Representative with the Toronto Branch of RBC Dominion Securities Inc. The Respondent is no longer registered in any capacity with an IIROC-regulated firm.

The hearing is open to the public, unless the Hearing Panel orders otherwise.
