In Complaint No. 164/2023 (Annette Sterling v Maisha Wilson-Campbell), the GLC Disciplinary Committee found the respondent attorney (7 years' call) guilty of professional misconduct, professional negligence, and conduct bringing the profession into disrepute relating to a property transfer involving a familial relationship. The respondent admitted culpability. Declining the most severe sanction of striking off, the Panel imposed a 14-month suspension effective 30 August 2024, required four CLPD ethics credits, and ordered costs of $350,000 to the complainant and $100,000 to the GLC. No express finding of dishonesty was made.
Duties found breached:
Aggravating factors:
- There was a transfer of property
- In giving evidence the respondent created the impression of contesting the allegations by insisting the complainant had ratified the transfer
- Respondent alleged a conspiracy in her office with no evidentiary basis
Mitigating factors:
- Respondent did not contest the allegations and admitted culpability from the outset
- No evidence the respondent profited financially from the enterprise
- No previous record of professional misconduct (attorney of 7 years standing)
- Avenue for civil action against the respondent remains open to the complainant
- Matter involved familial relations affecting the respondent's diligence
