The Complainant retained the Attorney's firm following a 2008 motor vehicle accident. The Attorney failed to obtain a complete medical report (the Spanish Town Hospital had lost the records) and the claim became statute barred on 16 February 2014. The Committee found the Attorney did not advise the Complainant before the limitation date that his claim was about to become statute barred. The Attorney was found guilty of professional misconduct, breaching Canons IV(r) and IV(s), and was fined J$2,000,000 (to be paid to the Complainant) plus J$100,000 costs.

Duties found breached:

• Maintain competence and CPD
• No baseless or threatened misconduct report
