The Attorney was retained to act in the sale of the complainant's sister's property in Manchester, Jamaica for $6,500,000. The sale was completed and title transferred to the purchaser on 7 October 2016, but the Attorney failed to remit the net proceeds (estimated at $5,873,750) to the vendor. The Attorney acknowledged in writing owing $5,754,975 but never paid. The Attorney did not attend any hearing despite proper service. Applying the beyond-reasonable-doubt standard, the Panel found all five Canon breaches proven and found the Attorney guilty of professional misconduct. The decision records no sanction; the matter was adjourned for judgment to be written.
