Outcome of SDT Hearing
This notification relates to a Decision to prosecute before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. This is an independent Tribunal which reaches its own decision after considering all the evidence, including any evidence put forward by the Respondent. The Tribunal had certified that there was a case to answer.
The matter was heard on 2 – 9 August 2021.
Mr Patrick Hetherington was Struck Off the Roll.
The SDT judgment will be available at www.solicitorstribunal.org.uk
The SDT’s Decision is subject to an Appeal to the High Court (Administrative Court) by Mr. Hetherington. The Order remains in force pending the High Court’s decision on the Appeal.
On 31 October 2022 the High Court dismissed the appeal on all grounds. The Order therefore remains in force.
