Outcome of SDT Hearing
This notification relates to an application to approve an agreed outcome in relation to an application concerning Kamar Abbas Khan 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 16 March 2017.
The Tribunal made the following Order:
Upon Mr Khan providing the Tribunal a copy of his signed written undertaking to the SRA in the terms set out below:
- within 14 days, Mr Khan to apply for voluntary removal from the Roll of Solicitors pursuant to section 8(1) of the Solicitors Act 1974; and
- further, for a period of 5 years from the date Mr Khan is removed from the Roll of Solicitors, not to seek restoration to the Roll of Solicitors under section 8(2) of the Solicitors Act 1974.
The Tribunal Orders that:
- The proceedings brought by the SRA against Mr Khan be stayed.
- Mr Khan to be subject to section 41 of the Solicitors Act 1974 and not seek or accept employment or remuneration in connection with the provision of legal services by a solicitor, partner or member of a Limited Partnership, recognised body, Legal Disciplinary Practice, Alternative Business Structure or any other entity regulated by the SRA or any other approved regulator under the Legal Services Act 2007, without first obtaining written permission from the SRA and disclosing a copy of the Statement of Agreed Facts and Outcome to the prospective employer.
- The Hearing listed for 4 to 6 April 2017 be vacated.
- These proceedings will be concluded upon receipt of confirmation from the SRA that Mr Khan has applied to remove himself from the Roll of Solicitors.
