(b) A Respondent Attorney whose dishonest conduct has resulted in any payment out of the Fund to a Claimant must reimburse the Fund, including any applicable interest and any expenses incurred by the Fund in processing the Claim and pursuing reimbursement. A Respondent Attorney's failure to fully reimburse the Fund may be cause for additional discipline if the failure violates the Rule of Professional Conduct and may be considered a basis for denial of an application for reinstatement or readmission pursuant to C.R.C.P. 242.39. (c) Payment out of the Fund to a Claimant may be a pecuniary loss or injury proximately caused by a Respondent Attorney's dishonest conduct such that reimbursement may be referred for collection through C.R.S. Title 18, Art. 1.3, Pt. 6.
