The Law Society did not breach s9A(1): it properly considered the complaint, conducted a fresh independent investigation by Investigation Counsel and a Non‑Council Investigation Committee, and there was no systemic illegality requiring quashing or declaration; however the Court identified an inherent anomaly when complaints involve Council members and required administrative measures to ensure impartial handling, and awarded the applicant 60% of her costs (order nisi).
