Diana Marie Sang-Scott, a beneficiary of her late father Roy E. Sang's estate, complained that G. Anthony Levy, the executor and attorney-at-law, failed to account for estate monies including JMD 20,000,000 from sale of property and JMD 880,624.40 in pension funds, and failed to pay her claim or distribute the inheritance. The Attorney never appeared nor filed any defence. The Panel found the accounting complaint not made out (as a matter for court between beneficiaries and executor), but found the Attorney breached Canon I(b) and guilty of professional misconduct under s.12(1) of the Legal Profession Act. Sanction was deferred pending a hearing in mitigation.
