Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision
The Complainant engaged the Respondent attorney in 2013 to represent her in a breach of covenant matter regarding her apartment, paying a total of $79,500.00. The Respondent commenced a Supreme Court action to modify the restrictive covenant but took no further steps, failed to communicate, and did not handle the matter with due expedition. The Respondent did not appear; the panel proceeded under Regulation 8 and, applying the beyond-reasonable-doubt standard, found her guilty of professional misconduct under Canons IV(r) and IV(s). She was suspended for 12 months (or until compliance), ordered to pay $79,500.00 restitution plus 3% interest, $60,000.00 costs, and to return all documents.
