Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision

The attorney, also a barrister in England and Wales, was disbarred in England in 2000 and convicted in English Crown Courts of "Using a False Instrument" (Oct 1999) and "Theft" (Feb 2000), receiving 15 months total imprisonment. Both are prescribed offences under the Legal Profession (Prescribed Offences) Rules 1998, permitting a finding of professional misconduct on the convictions alone. The panel heard the matter in her absence, found the offences involved dishonesty and brought the profession into disrepute, and held her guilty of misconduct in a professional respect. Her name was ordered struck from the Roll of attorneys-at-law in Jamaica under section 12(4)(a) of the Legal Profession Act.

Duties found breached:

• Good faith and courtesy to colleagues
• Maintain competence and CPD
• No taking unfair advantage

Aggravating factors:

• Convictions for serious offences involving dishonesty/moral turpitude
• Already disbarred in England and Wales for professional misconduct
• Conduct likely to bring the profession into disrepute
