The Attorney, acting as vendor in an apartment sale, gave a professional undertaking to the National Commercial Bank to pay outstanding maintenance fees of $369,764.24 but failed to honour it. Only partial payment was made in March 2025 (18 months later, after the complaint was filed), leaving a balance of $20,543.24 unpaid. The Panel found her guilty of professional misconduct under Canon VI(d), noting a lack of integrity but no express finding of dishonesty. Considering seriousness under the Fuglers framework, the Panel held a fine alone was insufficient and striking off disproportionate, imposing a six-month suspension and costs of $200,000.

Duties found breached:

Aggravating factors:

  • 18-month delay in honouring the undertaking, only partial payment made
  • Payment only made after pressure/demands and after complaint was filed, not from conscience
  • Failure to participate in the proceedings or give any explanation
  • Outstanding balance of $20,543.24 remains unpaid

Mitigating factors:

  • No previous findings of misconduct against the Attorney
