The Respondent/Attorney acted for the Complainant in the 2007 purchase of property in Melrose Gardens, Manchester, for J$3,500,000, also acting for the vendor. The Complainant paid all monies due, including J$87,500 in legal fees and contributions to stamp duty and registration. Over eleven years later, no registered title was provided, no documents had been deposited at the Stamp Office, and the Attorney avoided the Complainant's calls and visits. The Attorney did not respond to the Complaint or appear at the hearing, which proceeded under Rule 8. The Panel accepted the Complainant's unchallenged evidence (proven beyond reasonable doubt) and found the Attorney guilty of professional misconduct. Sanction was deferred to allow the Attorney to be heard in mitigation.
