| Executive summary |
The Respondent was an experienced solicitor and the owner, manager and sole solicitor of the Firm, a conveyancing practice. He admitted five allegations arising from three conveyancing transactions and from his failure to co-operate with the Applicant’s investigations, including that he had, on up to seven occasions, dishonestly provided false and misleading information to a client about the registration of her property. The Tribunal found all five allegations proved, and that the Respondent had acted dishonestly; it found no exceptional circumstances. The Tribunal ordered that the Respondent be struck off the Roll and pay costs summarily assessed at £45,630.
