Attorney Audley Foster acted for the complainants in the sale of lot 626 Cumberland Pen. The Panel found beyond reasonable doubt that he failed to account for the net proceeds of sale ($1,552,487.50) from 14 October 1999, breaching Canon VII(b), and failed to maintain the honour and dignity of the profession, breaching Canon I(b). As the attorney had already been struck off in 2004 for unrelated misconduct, no further strike-off was ordered, but he was ordered to pay restitution of $1,552,487.50 with 12% interest and costs of $110,000.00. No express finding of dishonesty was made.
