Reasons/basis

This notification relates to a Decision to prosecute before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. This is an independent Tribunal which will reach its own decision after considering all the evidence, including any evidence put forward by the Solicitor. The Tribunal has certified that there is a case to answer in respect of allegations which are or include that, while in practice as a solicitor, Ms Whitehead backdated a Lasting Power of Attorney and provided a false name to a hospital in order to obtain private information.

The allegations are subject to a Hearing before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and are as yet unproven.
