The Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council found Respondent Attorney Charles Ganga-Singh guilty of professional misconduct on a complaint by Socrates Hylton under the Legal Profession Act. The breaches concerned Canons 1(b), IV(r) and IV(s) relating to neglect, lack of expedition, failure to keep the client informed, and discrediting the profession. The attorney's counsel raised a res judicata argument which the Panel rejected, and declined to make submissions on sanction. The Committee fined the attorney $75,000.00 (JMD), with $50,000.00 payable to the Complainant and $25,000.00 to the General Legal Council, by 31 March 2020.
