Midlands Solicitor suspended

I require a little more information about a Rutland man, a solicitor who enjoys golf and no longer appears on the Law Society List.

THE HIGH Court has suspended from practising and frozen the accounts of a midlands solicitor after being informed that a Law Society committee had formed the opinion that he is guilty of dishonesty and misconduct.
The court heard that the Law Society’s complaints and client relations committee, which considers complaints against solicitors, came to that opinion arising out of the solicitor’s alleged “systemic practice” of failing to use money received from the sale of properties to discharge mortgages affecting the properties.
