The Attorney, J. Vernon Ricketts, was engaged in 1999 to wind up the estate of the complainant's mother and transfer title to properties. The matter remained incomplete years later. The Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council found that the Attorney failed to deal with the complainant's business with all expedition and acted with inexcusable or deplorable negligence. No express finding of dishonesty was made. He was fined J$50,000 payable to the General Legal Council and ordered to pay J$80,000 costs to the complainant.
