In Complaint No. 10 of 2016, the Victoria Mutual Building Society (Richard Powell) complained against attorney William Anthony Pearson before the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council of Jamaica. The panel delivered its sanction decision on June 18, 2020. Following that, Respondent's counsel applied under Regulation 19(d) of the Fourth Schedule to the Legal Profession Act for suspension of the filing of the order for 30–45 days to consider an appeal and wind up affairs. The panel noted Regulation 19(d) had been repealed, and counsel withdrew the application. Counsel later invoked Section 12A(1) of the Amendment Act empowering the panel to suspend its order. The panel revisited and refused the application, holding that no sufficient reason had been shown. The substantive sanction and any findings of misconduct or dishonesty are not contained in this ruling text.
