On 19 September 2013, the Solicitors  Disciplinary Tribunal found the respondent solicitor guilty of professional  misconduct in that he:
1)   Failed to ensure that  there was furnished to the Society an accountant’s report for the year ended 31  December 2009 within six months of that date, in breach of regulation 21(1) of  the Solicitors’ Accounts Regulations 2001 (SI 421 of 2001),
2)   Through his conduct,  showed disregard for his statutory obligation to comply with the Solicitors’  Accounts Regulations and showed disregard for  the Society’s statutory obligation to monitor compliance with the Solicitors’  Accounts Regulations for the protection of  clients and the public.
The tribunal ordered that the matter go  forward to the President of the High Court and, on 3 March 2014, the President  of the High Court ordered that the solicitor’s name be struck from the Roll of  Solicitors and that the respondent solicitor pay the costs of the Society’s  proceedings before the disciplinary tribunal and the cost of the High Court  proceedings, to be taxed in default of agreement.
