罗斯康姆律师Declan O'Callaghan因2006年在梅奥的一笔土地交易而被高等法院正式谴责,
Declan O’Callaghan, a Roscommon solicitor, has been formally censured by the High Court for a 2006 land transaction in Mayo where he represented both vendor and purchaser without ensuring the vendor received independent legal advice, a breach of professional standards.
虽然法院只维持了四项不当行为指控中的一项,但法院发现利益冲突存在严重缺陷,损害了该职业的声誉,尽管没有证明存在不诚实行为。
While the court upheld only one of four misconduct allegations, it found the conflict of interest seriously flawed and damaging to the profession’s reputation, though no dishonesty was proven.
O ' Callaghan,自2018年以来因无关事项被暂停,辩称这笔交易与银行贷款有关,25万欧元与土地估价有关,而不是与支付有关。
O’Callaghan, suspended since 2018 over unrelated matters, argued the transaction was tied to a bank loan and that a €250,000 figure related to land valuation, not payment.
法律协会只要求受到训斥,法院拒绝将费用判给任何一方。
The Law Society sought only censure, and the court declined to award costs to either side.
