In disciplinary Complaint No. 10/2016 brought by the Victoria Mutual Building Society against attorney William Anthony Pearson, the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council delivered its decision on sanction on 18 June 2020. The Respondent's counsel applied to suspend the filing of the order for 30-45 days to consider an appeal and wind up affairs. The original basis (Regulation 19(d)) had been repealed; counsel then relied on Section 12A(1) of the Legal Profession Amendment Act 2007. The panel refused the application, finding no sufficient reason had been shown to suspend the order. This text records only the procedural ruling and does not state the substantive sanction, breaches, or any finding of dishonesty.
