Attorney Shaun Reynolds acted for both vendor and purchaser in the 1994 purchase of lot 73, Esher Housing Scheme, Hanover. The complainants paid the full purchase price of $550,000 but never received registered title. The attorney failed to stamp the agreement for sale, complete the sale, produce the registered title, or provide information on the sale's progress. He was found guilty of misconduct under s.12(1) and breaches of Canons 4(r) and 4(s). He was suspended for two years from 30 June 2001 unless he complied with conditions (delivering up title and documents, and evidence of paid taxes/stamp duty or payment of $250,000), and ordered to pay $10,000 costs.
