The court found that although the applicant's failure to report his meeting with a wanted person was a serious lapse, it did not demonstrate permanent unsuitability for the Bar; lifelong exclusion under s.27A para d(ii) would be disproportionate given his long public service and mitigating factors, and admission would not undermine public confidence when the full circumstances are known.
