 d)       Failed to  attend at the meeting of the Complaints and Client Relations Committee on 30  July 2009, despite being directed to so attend by order of the High Court made  on 13 July 2009.
  
 The tribunal ordered  that the matter be brought before the High Court and, on 1 March 2010, the  President of the High Court ordered that the name of the respondent solicitor  be struck from the Roll of Solicitors and that the Society recover the costs of  the proceedings in the High Court and the costs of the proceedings before the  disciplinary tribunal as against the respondent solicitor when taxed and  ascertained.
