This document is a "Notice of Intention to Make Preliminary Submissions" filed by the respondent attorney Arlean Beckford in Complaint No 146 of 2002 before the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council of Jamaica. It is not a decision and contains no findings. It sets out two preliminary arguments to be raised: (1) that the Committee lacks jurisdiction under section 12(1) of the Legal Profession Act 1971 because the complainant is not an "aggrieved person" (having no legal/equitable interest in the unadministered estate or land) and has not disclosed a prima facie case of professional misconduct/negligence (no duty of care owed to him); and (2) that the Committee is in any event a forum non conveniens, the Supreme Court of Jamaica being the proper forum given the complex title, signature, and competence issues involving rights in rem. No adjudication, breaches, dishonesty, sanction, fine, or costs are stated.
