SanctionNo Order
Dishonesty foundYes

The Attorney, Graceann Cameron, represented the complainant in a motor vehicle accident claim under a contingency fee agreement and received settlement proceeds. Of a $3,000,000 settlement, the complainant was to receive $2,000,000 and the Attorney's fee was $1,000,000. The Attorney sent two cheques of $1,000,000 each, both of which were dishonoured, causing the complainant $4,000 in bank charges. The Attorney failed to account for or pay over the $2,000,000. The Panel found beyond reasonable doubt that the Attorney misappropriated the complainant's money and acted dishonestly, breaching Canons I(b) and VII(b). Sanction was deferred to allow the Attorney to be heard in mitigation.
