Attorney Leslie Campbell was retained to recover damages for personal injuries from a motor vehicle accident. An interim order for $3,000,000 was made in the complainant's favour; Dyoll Insurance paid $2,336,563.02 to the attorney, who paid $1,680,024.12 to the complainant. Dyoll was placed in liquidation and no further sums recovered. The attorney failed to explain to the complainant, orally or in writing, the status of his case in light of the insurer's insolvency. The Committee found him guilty of professional misconduct under Canon IV(r), reprimanded him, and ordered payment of a fine and costs.
