Participation Exercise 1:
Derek Delaney of DD Law has acted for Jack for a number of years, mainly in the sale and purchase of investment properties. Recently Derek acted for Jack in relation to a dispute with his former business partner John that led to litigation, the result of which was that orders were made against Jack in the amount of $250,000. Jack was not happy with the conduct of the case, in particular Derek's failure to subpoena witnesses who were in his view crucial to the success of his case. Jack sent a number of letters and emails to Derek in relation to the matter, requesting particulars, and advice on the likelihood of success of an appeal.
Derek did not respond to any of Jack's correspondence, or return his calls; and he paid his costs for acting in the matter from trust fund monies deposited for the purchase of Jack's most recent investment.
In the meantime, John's solicitor notified Derek that unless the moneys owing to his client were paid, bankruptcy proceeding would issue against Jack. Derek did not respond to the notification, or notify Jack about it.
Sometime later, Jack was served with a bankruptcy notice and asked for Derek for his file. Derek did not deliver up the file. Jack then retained Smart to act on his behalf, and Smart requested the file from Derek. Derek failed again to deliver up the file.
Jack complained to the Legal Services Commissioner about Derek's conduct. The Commissioner wrote to Derek to requesting an explanation within a specified period, but Derek failed to comply within that time.
Summarise using authority, what the potential consequences of these facts are to Derek.
