Decision details
An Adjudicator DECIDED to grant Mr Trevor Baker a practising certificate for the practice year 2009/2010 subject to the condition that he attend a course accredited by the SRA on the Solicitors' Code of Conduct with particular reference to the operation of Rules 2 and 9 within 3 months of the date of notification of this decision and provides confirmation of attendance in the form of a certificate or letter of attendance from the course provided within 1 month thereafter.
Reasons/basis
A Forensic Investigation Report revealed concerns about compliance with the Solicitors' Code of Conduct 2007, in particular with the rules to be followed regarding referrals of business.
The Adjudicator had regard to Regulation 6 of the SRA Practising Regulations 2009 and to the purposes for which conditions may be imposed on a solicitor's practising certificate in the public interest. The Adjudicator considered that requiring Mr Baker to update and refresh his knowledge of the rules will be in the public interest as it will be conducive to his carrying out of efficient practice (Regulation 6.1 (d)).
