Attorney Pauline Simpson, acting for the purchaser in a property sale, gave unconditional undertakings to pay the balance of purchase money and half costs (US$92,802.24) in exchange for the duplicate certificate of title. The complainant, Mr. Gordon Brown for the vendor, delivered the title but Simpson failed to pay despite having received funds from her client. She made excuses, then left the island; the purchaser ultimately paid US$95,000 to obtain clear title. Simpson did not appear at the hearing, which proceeded after proper service. The Committee found her guilty of the worst kind of professional misconduct under Canons I(b) and VI(d), found no mitigating circumstances, and ordered her name struck off the Roll.
