The Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council found Attorney Howard Lettman guilty of professional misconduct on a complaint by Edward Green. The Attorney was retained for property sale transactions and civil matters but failed to splinter titles, failed to stamp one sale agreement from proceeds held, failed to conclude the sale transactions despite collecting funds, failed to account for monies held to the Complainant's credit, caused inordinate delay, and was unresponsive. The Attorney never returned original documents including the Duplicate Certificate of Title. He failed to attend any hearings or file a response affidavit. Applying the criminal standard (beyond reasonable doubt), the panel accepted the Complainant's evidence in its entirety and found breaches of Canons 1(b) and 4. No express finding of dishonesty was made. Sanction was deferred to allow the Attorney to address the panel, per Owen Clunie v GLC, so no sanction had yet been imposed at the time of this decision.
