The appeal is dismissed: the Committee validly found repeated statutory and ethical breaches based on documentary records; its directions excluding witnesses did not preclude applications to adduce evidence and Mr Chan never produced witness statements or sought summonses; the sanctions and costs imposed were within the reasonable range given the seriousness and repetition of breaches and the substantial fees involved, and therefore not excessive or unlawful.
