Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision
The Attorney acted for the Complainant in a claim and collected $2,920,450.47 in settlement of a judgment debt but failed to pay over the proceeds to the Complainant, later admitting she could not pay and citing a break-in at her office. The Committee found she breached Canon VII(b) (failure to account) and Canon I(b) (failure to maintain honour and dignity of the profession). As she had already been struck off in an unrelated matter, no further striking-off order was made. She was ordered to pay restitution of $1,946,966.98 (the sum collected less her one-third retainer entitlement) with 8% interest, plus $10,000 costs. No express finding of dishonesty was made.
