Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision
Complainant Arthur Williams retained attorney Winston Walters in 1994 for a cattle-trespass claim, paying $500 in fees. Judgment was obtained for J$10,000 in July 1997, but Walters failed to explain the terms of judgment, failed to communicate whether he was still acting, and did not advise on collecting the judgment or return the file. The Committee found Walters guilty of professional misconduct in breach of Canon iv(r). He was reprimanded and fined J$7,000 payable to the complainant. No finding of dishonesty was made; the hearing proceeded in Walters' absence at his request.
