The Tribunal has certified that there is a case to answer in respect of allegations which are or relate to misleading the court in written and oral evidence, issuing invoices on behalf of a firm when not authorised to do so and when fees were not owed to the firm and sending letters to third parties which contained misleading information.
The allegations are subject to a Hearing before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and are as yet unproven.
