Complainant engaged the Respondent attorney in 1997 to act on his behalf purchasing property from the Respondent and another vendor, paying J$980,000 and £4,000. He never obtained transfer nor any accounting. The Panel found it improper for the Respondent to act while also being a vendor and that she failed to advise independent representation, breaching Canons 1(b) and VII(b). Though the misconduct warranted striking off, the Respondent was already struck off, so the Panel ordered restitution of J$980,000 and £4,000 plus 12% interest and J$10,000 costs.
