Marie Judy-Ann Chambers

Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision

The Respondent, Marie Judy-Ann Chambers, an attorney admitted in 2004 who held practising certificates for 2004-2010, failed to deliver Accountant's Reports or declarations to the General Legal Council for each of those years. She did not attend any of the hearings and offered no explanation or any intention to remedy the default. The panel, applying the criminal standard of proof, found her guilty of grave professional misconduct in breach of Regulation 16(1). It ordered that her name be struck from the Roll and that she pay $100,000 toward the Council's costs. No express finding of dishonesty was made.

Duties found breached:

• Accounting records, reconciliation and reports
• Report serious misconduct of others

Aggravating factors:

• Failure to file reports across seven consecutive years (2004-2010)
• No attendance at any hearing despite repeated notices
• No explanation offered for the conduct
• No intention shown to remedy the breaches despite many opportunities
