The General Legal Council member Michael Hylton Q.C. complained that Attorney Cynthia Levy-Brown failed to deliver accountant's reports for 1999-2002 as required by the Legal Profession (Accounts and Records) Regulations, 1999. The attorney did not appear despite proper service; the matter proceeded in her absence. The panel found beyond reasonable doubt that she breached Regulation 16(1), constituting professional misconduct under Regulation 17 and section 12. Considering the breaches grave and conduct bringing the profession into disrepute, the panel ordered that her name be struck from the Roll of Attorneys-at-Law.

Duties found breached:

Aggravating factors:

  • Breaches considered grave
  • Conduct brought the profession into disrepute
