On October 4th 2024, Channel 7 made a report about a finding of the General Legal Council against attorney Michel Chebat. The article stated that there was a 2019 default judgement entered against a client whose case was being handled by Nazira Uc Myles - who later left the firm.
Our story failed to state clearly that the default judgement was entered after Mrs Myles left the firm in 2018, and, quote, "It does not appear that any attorney was assigned to the Complainants' case after" she did.
The council found it was Chebat's duty to assist his clients, particularly after Myles left the firm.
The decision of the General Legal Council did not in any way find or allude to any omission in Mrs. Myles professional conduct, which she had fully satisfied up to her departure from the firm in 2018.
We apologize for the omission and for any distress it may have caused Ms Myles.
