Full reasons why LPDC suspended senior advocate Gadzama, fellow lawyer from legal practice (DOWNLOAD)

Senior advocate Gadzama and another lawyer have been suspended from legal practice by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC). The decision follows a thorough review of their conduct, detailed in a 70-page directive issued on July 29.

The LPDC found Mr. Gadzama guilty of several professional misconducts. These include poaching clients already represented by another lawyer and acting for judgment creditors who later denied instructing him. Furthermore, the committee noted that Gadzama continued to take steps in cases even after some clients had expressly disowned him.

These actions constitute serious breaches of legal ethics and professional responsibility. The suspension serves as a disciplinary measure by the LPDC to uphold the integrity of the legal profession and protect the public from misconduct. The full reasons behind the suspension are laid out in the committee's comprehensive directive.
