On 29 October 2015, the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal found the respondent solicitor guilty of professional misconduct in his practice as a solicitor in that he failed to ensure there was furnished to the Society a closing accountant’s report, as required by regulation 26(2) of the Solicitors Accounts Regulations 2001 (SI 421 of 2001), in a timely manner or at all, having ceased practice on 31 January 2014.

The tribunal ordered that the matter go forward to the High Court and, on 18 January 2016, the High Court ordered that:

1)   The respondent solicitor be suspended from practising as a solicitor until such time as he files his closing accountant’s report with the Society,

2)   The respondent solicitor pay the whole of the costs of the Society before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and the High Court, to be taxed in default of agreement.
