The Respondent, Audley Foster, acted for the Complainant in the 1998 sale of her property for J$2,800,000. He collected the purchase price but failed to pay over the proceeds. After partial payments and two dishonoured cheques, a balance of J$1,131,109.40 remained outstanding. The Panel found beyond reasonable doubt that he fraudulently converted and misappropriated the funds. He was struck off the Roll, ordered to pay the outstanding balance plus 12% interest from 1 January 1999, and to pay costs.
Duties found breached:
Aggravating factors:
- Misappropriation of client funds
- Defrauding a complainant residing abroad
- Failure to attend hearings despite multiple adjournments given the gravity of the complaint
- Two cheques given in part-payment were dishonoured
