THE Court of Appeal has overturned findings of professional misconduct against three attorneys, ruling that the Disciplinary Committee of the Law Association (LATT) denied them a fair hearing and acted outside proper procedure.

In a consolidated judgment delivered by Chief Justice Ronnie Boodoosingh, with concurring opinions from Justices of Appeal Nolan Bereaux and Maria Wilson, the court allowed appeals by attorneys Dinesh Rambally, Karina Singh and Desiree Sankar and set aside reprimands imposed on them in April 2024.

The appeals arose from complaints filed in December 2020 by Michael Dhanoosingh, who alleged conduct unbecoming against the attorneys in relation to their representation of him in property litigation involving the sale of family-owned land in Aranguez.
