This notification relates to a Decision to prosecute before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.

The Tribunal has certified that there is a case to answer in respect of allegations which are or include :-

• He failed to deliver an Accountant’s Report for the period ending 31 May 2009 promptly or at all.

• He failed to comply with an Order of an SRA Adjudicator and in so doing acted in a manner likely to diminish the public confidence in the profession.

• He failed to act with the SRA in an open, prompt and cooperative manner.

The allegations are subject to a Hearing before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and are as yet unproven.
