Henry Vincent Grech, NSW Solicitor |
For details on Mr Grech, go to the NSW Law Society's website, and use it's search facility. |
In June, 1999, Mr Grech ended up with a sum of some $1,100 in his trust account, which he was supposed to pay to a finance company to finalise an indebtedness a Mr Shamoun had to that finance company. |
But he didn't do it. |
So Mr Shamoun started writing to Mr Grech, but got no response from Mr Grech. |
So Mr Shamoun made a complaint to the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner. |
After quite a time, it transpired that Mr Grech had put the $1,100 into his own pocket. |
(Most people would call this "stealing" Mr Shamoun's money.) |
And, as it turned out, Mr Grech NEVER paid the $1,100 to the finance company. |
It appears that, after more than three years, in which Mr Grech had the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner and the Law Society "breathing down his neck" a lot of the time , Mr Grech gave Mr Shamoun the $1,100 - not with any compensation for his time or trouble or the extra costs he would have incurred with the finance company, as far as we know. |
So what did the Administrative Decisions Tribunal decide, when the matter eventually came before them, more than 6 years later? |
That Mr Grech had done nothing wrong!!!??? |
