Michelle Rosena Beatty

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

The Legal Services Commissioner brought a discipline application against Michelle Rosena Beatty for four failures to respond to notices issued under s 443(3) of the LPA. The respondent did not appear or engage in any way. The Tribunal found each charge proved and that her repeated indifference amounted to professional misconduct. No express finding of dishonesty was made. Given the need to protect the public, the Tribunal recommended removal from the roll and ordered the respondent to pay the applicant's costs.

Duties found breached:

• No baseless or threatened misconduct report

Aggravating factors:

• Repeated failures to comply (four separate notices)
• Complete lack of engagement in the disciplinary proceeding
• Profound indifference to obligations under the LPA and to status as a member of the legal profession
