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

The Attorney had carriage of sale representing the vendor and received a J$2,500,000 deposit from the purchaser (complainant). When the sale fell through, the Attorney issued a cheque to repay the deposit which was dishonoured, and to date the deposit was never refunded. The Attorney failed to attend the hearings despite proper service. Applying the beyond reasonable doubt standard, the Committee accepted the complainant's uncontroverted evidence and found the Attorney guilty of professional misconduct in breach of Canon 1(b). No express finding of dishonesty was made, and this decision records only the finding of guilt with no sanction stated.

Duties found breached:

• Uphold public trust in the profession
