Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision
The Complainant paid an $820,000 deposit for a property purchase to the Respondent Attorney (the Vendor's attorney). When she could not secure financing, she was entitled to a refund under the Agreement. The Respondent Attorney acknowledged the request and promised by email of 26 January 2019 to refund the deposit but failed to do so. The Respondent did not appear or file any response. Applying the beyond reasonable doubt standard, the Panel accepted the Complainant's unchallenged evidence and found the Respondent guilty of professional misconduct under Canons 4(r), I(b), and VII(b)(ii). Sanction was deferred to allow the Respondent an opportunity to address the Panel.
