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 :-
- On 28 November 2006 and 28 December 2006, while acting as an executor of a client’s estate, and without consultation with or agreement from the other executors and/or Beneficiaries, Mr Davies caused or allowed two payments to be made into a client account in the joint names of himself and his then wife, prior to the Grant of Probate, and for his own personal use.
- He acted where there existed a conflict of interest.
The allegations are subject to a Hearing before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and are as yet unproven.
