The legal regulatory body in Canada has reserved three days next month when it will decide the fate of prominent Jamaican/Canadian attorney, Peter Abrahams.
Abrahams, is accused of misappropriating the Canadian equivalent of Jamaican 17-million dollars belonging to a client.
The website of the Law Society of Upper Canada says the hearing into Mr. Abrahams’ conduct is scheduled for August 12 to 14.
Abrahams practiced law in Jamaica for a number of years before he was called to the Canadian bar in 1984.
He’s been suspended indefinitely by the Canadian legal regulatory body.
The attorney was sanctioned by the Canadian legal authorities following allegations of professional misconduct.
According to the legal regulatory authority in Canada, Abrahams’ licence has been suspended indefinitely because he has not provided full cooperation with its investigation.
As a consequence, Abrahams been already been ordered to pay 10-thousand Canadian dollars to the law society.
Abrahams is the husband of Jamaica’s State Minister for Industry and the Member of Parliament for West Central, St. James, Sharon Ffolkes-Abrahams.
