A lawyer has been suspended from practice for two years after being found guilty of improper conduct by his professional body.

According to an official notice, Carlsen Philip failed to comply with a direction from the Bermuda Bar Council dated March 19, 2004, requiring him to produce accounts and other documentation relating to his trust accounts for the period, covering the sale of certain property.

The charge was heard and determined by a disciplinary tribunal appointed under the Bermuda Bar Act.

He was found guilty in June 2005 and suspended from practice for two years.

An appeal to the Court of Appeal was dismissed on March 14.
