Despite numerous requests, he failed to pay over or account for the funds. The Committee found him guilty of professional misconduct under s.12(1)(a) of the Legal Profession Act and unanimously struck him off the roll, ordering restitution of US$17,640.18 with 3% interest and costs of $300,000 to the Complainant and $150,000 to the General Legal Council.
