Complaint by Deryck/Dolly Marks against attorney Dahlia Allen. The Panel, on affidavit evidence, found the attorney breached the Canons of Professional Ethics by failing to account for and pay over sums collected on the client's behalf relating to sales of several properties. The attorney did not respond to the hearing notice. Because she had already been struck off the roll in unrelated matters, the Panel could not order strike-off, and instead ordered restitution of JMD 1,847,535.01 (with 12% annual interest from 21 September 2001) plus JMD 75,000 costs.
