A former Jones Day partner was fined for contempt of court by a London judge on Wednesday for ordering the destruction of his client’s secure communications system after learning of a search order.
Judge Adam Johnson of the High Court said British lawyer Raymond McKeeve did “exactly the opposite of what … his professional duties required” and fined him 25,000 British pounds ($28,190). Johnson called McKeeve’s actions a “serious matter,” but said they did not warrant a custodial sentence.
