Reasons/basis

IN THE MATTER OF

Olusola Oyediran a person who is or was involved in legal practice but is not a solicitor

FACTS

Olusola Oyediran is employed as a caseworker at Chris Solicitors 72 Stoke Newington High Street London N16 7PA.

Mr Oyediran mislead his client as to the status of his Home Office application and also attempted to mislead the SRA when it began its investigation. He was found to have acted dishonestly.

FINDINGS

I find that Olusola Oyediran is involved in a legal practice (as defined by section 43 (1A) of the Solicitors Act 1974) but is not a solicitor and has occasioned or been a party to, with or without the connivance of a solicitor, an act or default in relation to a legal practice which involved conduct on his part of such a nature that in the opinion of the Society it would be undesirable for him to be involved in a legal practice in any of the ways set out in the order below.
