The Attorney took over conduct of a land sale and held $850,000 deposit plus $94,680 in costs on the Complainant's behalf. She failed to complete the sale, failed to account for the monies, and failed to return the files despite the Complainant's requests after terminating her retainer. The Committee found grave dishonesty and struck her off the Roll, ordering restitution of $944,680 with 12% interest from 4 May 1998, plus costs of $50,000.

Duties found breached:

• Handle inadvertently received material
