| Outcome | Fine |
| Executive summary | The Respondent, a solicitor and former Partner at the Firm, was alleged to have misled his client, Person A, about the filing of her Decree Nisi between October/November 2019 and November 2020, and to have acted recklessly. The Tribunal found that while the Decree Nisi was significantly delayed and Person A suffered distress and anxiety, there was no dishonesty, lack of integrity, or recklessness. Breaches of Principles 2 and 7 were found, reflecting a lack of oversight rather than deliberate misconduct. |
