Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision
The attorney was retained in October 2002 to act in the complainant's purchase of premises and was paid JMD 164,500 for fees and costs. The documentation, including the Agreement for Sale, referred to the wrong title volume, and after 4 years the transaction remained incomplete and the error unrectified. The attorney did not appear despite proper service; the Panel proceeded under regulation 8. It found beyond reasonable doubt that the attorney failed to deal with the client's business with due expedition (Canon IV(r)). The Panel ordered restitution of JMD 120,000 with 6% interest from 13 June 2005 and costs of JMD 10,000. No finding of dishonesty was made.
