The complainant retained the respondent in November 1996 regarding a title dispute over premises in Greater Portmore, St. Catherine. A total of $92,700 was paid to the respondent, of which $29,500 was paid to a third party in an attempt to settle. The respondent failed to pursue an action for a declaration that the equitable interest vested solely in the complainant. The Committee found a breach of Canon IV(r). The respondent did not appear. The Committee ordered restitution of JMD 70,000 plus 6% interest and costs of JMD 10,000.
