Named applicant

Alexander Gibbons (respondent solicitor)

On 10 January 2013, the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal found the respondent solicitor guilty of misconduct in his practice as a solicitor in that he failed to disclose the true terms of the contract so as to conceal his own dishonest dealings.

The tribunal recommended that the matters be sent forward to the High Court and, on 19 October 2015, the High Court ordered that:

1)   The name of the respondent solicitor be struck off the Roll of Solicitors,

2)   The respondent solicitor pay the Society the costs of and incidental to the proceedings and the costs of the Society before the tribunal, including witness expenses, to be taxed in default of agreement.
