Derrick Darby represented Doreen Matthews in the sale of premises at 47 Coral Way, Harbour View, Kingston 17. He gave her a cheque for J$1,740,000.00 which was dishonoured, later paying J$1,400,000.00 by two manager's cheques and nothing further. The Panel found him guilty of professional misconduct for failing to account to his client and ordered restitution of J$552,739.00 and US$4,600.00 with interest from 24 February 2003 to date of payment. No express finding of dishonesty was made (the dishonoured cheque was described factually, not as a dishonesty finding).
