Embattled attorney at law Oswald James, who was suspended from practising as an attorney in February by the General Legal Council, has obtained a Stay from the High Court.
An Appeal Court judge has granted Mr. James a stay, pending the outcome of his appeal which is scheduled for December.
This means that Mr. James can resume his practice until his appeal is heard.
On February 21, the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council suspended him for one year following a hearing into a complaint filed against him by one of his clients.
The client had hauled Mr. James before the General Legal Council over a real estate deal involving $2.5 million.
After hearing the complaints, the Council ordered that he be suspended.
Mr. James, of the firm James and Company, was charged in August last year following allegations that he had defrauded one of his clients of $20 million.
That matter is still before the court.
Meanwhile, an attorney accused of offering a bribe to a policeman is to stand trial in the May Pen Criminal Court on August 9.
Mr. Powell was charged last month with breaches of the Corruption Prevention Act after he was caught attempting to bribe a policeman, not to submit a case file in court.
The case stemmed from the May 8 arrests of two men involved in the "cash for gold" trade.
It is alleged that Mr. Powell who represented the men, contacted the investigating officer and offered to pay him $20,000 not to submit the case file.
The matter was reported to the Anti-Corruption Branch and a sting operation set up.
Mr. Powell was nabbed on May 13 when he was in the process of handing over $10,000 to the policeman.
The incident was also videotaped by the undercover cops.
