Complainant Alvin Warren retained attorney Carlton Campbell to recover possession of land from Charles Peart. Although judgment (damages, costs and injunction) was obtained, the attorney took no steps to enforce it, and Peart remained on the land. The attorney never appeared despite proper notice, and the Committee heard uncontradicted evidence. The Committee found the attorney acted with inexcusable or deplorable negligence or neglect and imposed a fine of $15,000 (split between the complainant and the GLC) plus $2,000 costs. No express finding of dishonesty.
Duties found breached:
Aggravating factors:
- Repeated failure to appear before the Disciplinary Committee despite ample and proper notice
