Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision
The Disciplinary Committee found attorney Keith Jarrett guilty of professional misconduct. Retained to act for the Complainant following a motor vehicle accident, the attorney failed to follow up with counsel asked to attend a Case Management Conference, resulting in default judgment against the Complainant. He failed to apply to set aside the default judgment in a timely manner despite service, and failed to keep the Complainant informed (falsely assuring him all was well), in breach of Canons IV(r) and (s). He was suspended for six months and ordered to pay the Complainant JMD 4,000,000 plus JMD 150,000 in costs. No express finding of dishonesty was made.
