I want my properties back

Mar 19, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
More than twenty years have passed since Attorney-at-Law Ms. Sheila Chapman and the Legal Firm of Attorneys-at-Law Sheila A. Chapman, Avril A. Trotman and Raphael C.C. Trotman and others took part in an apparent conspiracy in the full face of the Laws of Guyana to deprive me of my properties. And all my efforts to regain them have so far proved futile.
I had engaged the paid services of Attorney-at-Law Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan to seek remedy for me in the High Court, but apparently because of his declared policy to me for fraternalism to his fellow lawyers, he did not pursue my case in court with his usual zeal. He did not file some requisite pleadings in the matter, thereby causing my case to lapse.
I also applied to the Legal Practitioners’ Committee with a verified affidavit, in order to seek redress for the injustice done to me. But at the trial, the members there violated their own procedures by rejecting my right to complain to that legal body, and wrote on my case file thus:-”Committee is of the view that there is no lawyer and client relationship”.
That devious act was done to me despite the fact that according to the Laws of Guyana Cap 4.01 Legal Practitioners-Item 24 (1): “an application by a client or other persons aggrieved to require a legal practitioner to answer any allegation by such client or person against the legal practitioner . . . . . shall be made to the Registrar and shall be verified by affidavit”. By that citation, I was a fit and proper person to file such a complaint, and entitled to be heard by the Legal Practitioners Committee, as I was aggrieved.
Furthermore, the Committee recorded “final adj. to 27/1/2000 at 3.30 p.m”. in the case file, but when I appeared for the intended hearing of my case at that time, no member of the Committee attended. After making many efforts to be heard there, I recognized that they sent my matter to oblivion!
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there seems to be some hope for me, as that there are now resoundingly clamors for a new global order against crime, as we hear the echoes of disbarments, suspensions and pumpkin suits around us from some notable members of civil society and organizations.
In this situation, I pray for support to my cause from all such upright Guyanese and fraternal overseas missions etc. to let justice be done to me with the involvement of the Attorney General who has undertaken to guarantee the rights of everyone here.
