Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision
The Attorney was retained in 1994 to act on the purchase of land in Manchester and received a $200,000 deposit from the Complainant. The sale was never completed, the land became unavailable, and despite repeated requests the deposit was never refunded (almost 14 years later). The Attorney failed to attend any hearings or file a response. Applying the beyond reasonable doubt standard, the Panel accepted the Complainant's uncontroverted evidence and found the Attorney guilty of professional misconduct for breach of multiple canons. No sanction is stated in this decision (findings of guilt only).
