Reasons/basis

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.

On 20 & 21 May 2024 the SDT considered and approved an Agreed Outcome.   

Mr. Gill was suspended from practice as a solicitor for the period of 24 months to commence 21 May 2024.  

The Tribunal further ordered that upon the expiry of the fixed term of suspension, he shall be subject to the restriction imposed by the Tribunal which shall apply indefinitely. 

1. The Respondent must provide to the SRA, before the expiry of his suspension and, thereafter, each year, at the same time as he lodges his annual application for a practising certificate, a medical report (such report having been prepared no more than 3 months before it is provided) from a registered medical practitioner in the field of medicine which the parties have agreed ("the agreed practitioner"), addressing the following:
   1. that he is continuing to receive and engage with any treatment recommended (but not necessarily provided) by the agreed practitioner, identifying what that treatment consists of;
   2. that he is continuing to respond positively to the treatment being;
2. if the report identifies any risks to employees, partners, clients, third parties or the public, such risks to include (but not being limited to) those identified in Regulation 7.2 of the Authorisation of Individuals Regulations, namely that:
   1. in certain business practices or arrangements and/or;
   2. that he may put at risk the interests of employees, partners, clients, third parties or the public, in respect of his continued practice;

   then the report should identify how the Respondent proposes to address those risks and should provide an assessment from the agreed practitioner as to how effective those proposals are likely to be.

3. In the event that the Respondent decides to change his practising arrangements, then:
   1. prior to accepting any such new position, he shall inform his new employer, equity partner[s] or owner[s] of the restrictions set out within this order; and
   2. shall inform the SRA of his changed practising arrangements.
4. At all times, that the Respondent shall keep his professional commitments under review and limit his practice in accordance with any medical advice which he has received and shall inform the SRA of any such review and limitation. 
5. For the purposes of complying with condition 3 above, the Respondent shall disclose any relevant medical advice to the equity partner[s], employer[s] or owner[s] of the practice where he is working and the SRA.
6. Either party shall have the right to apply to the Tribunal to vary or rescind these restrictions at any time after the expiry of the 24-month suspension period.
