In Complaint No 146 of 2002 against attorneys Arlean Beckford and Wilbern Wallace under the Legal Profession Act 1971, the respondent filed a notice of intention to raise preliminary submissions. The submissions argued (1) that the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council lacked jurisdiction because the complainant was not an 'aggrieved person' under s.12(1) LPA (having no legally recognizable interest in the land arising from a conveyancing transaction) and had not disclosed a prima facie case of professional misconduct (no duty of care owed to a third party/non-client), and (2) that the Committee was in any event a forum non conveniens, the Supreme Court being the proper forum for the complex title, signature and testamentary issues raised. The document contains only the respondent's arguments; no tribunal findings or sanction are recorded.
