The High Court allowed a mother’s appeal against an order changing a child’s surname, holding the process was unfair because the issue was not formally raised or properly evidenced.
The Tribunal failed to give sufficient weight to the appellant's admissions, the isolated nature of the misconduct, and the absence of personal gain, resulting in a sanction that was clearly inappropriate. The case was of moderate culpability and middle range seriousness, warranting a 6-month suspension rather than 12 months.
