1. LEGAL PRACTITIONERS — disciplinary proceedings — solicitor — whether Respondent a fit and proper person to remain on the Roll of Australian Lawyers — where Respondent convicted of offences relating to misappropriation of trust funds — where Respondent engaged in, or represented that he was entitled to engage in, legal practice following the suspension of his practising certificate and the issue of Supreme Court injunctions restraining him from legal practice

Quick Take

Misappropriation of client trust funds on a large scale, compounded by continued unauthorised practice in defiance of suspension and court injunctions, and fabrication of court documents, warrants removal from the Roll of Australian Lawyers.
