Decision details
I DECIDE to grant Mr Patrick Orr a practising certificate for the practice year 2010/2011 subject to the following conditions:
- 1) He is not to act as an advocate in criminal proceedings before any court or give advice in criminal law matters.
- 2) He is not to act as Money Laundering Compliance Officer in any legal practice.
Reasons/basis
In reaching this decision I have noted that on 16 June 2009 Mr Orr was charged with a number of criminal offences.
I am is satisfied that the above conditions remain a proportionate and regulatory measure in order to protect the interests of the public. In reaching this decision I have had regard to Regulation 6.1(a)(b) of the SRA Practising Regulations 2009.
I am satisfied that Mr Orr has complied with the condition that he attend a course on money laundering accredited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. I therefore consider that it is no longer necessary or proportionate for this condition to remain in force for Mr Orr’s certificate for the year 2010/2010 for any of the purposes set out in Regulation 6 of the SRA Practising Regulations 2009.
