The Tribunal correctly found the appellants failed to verify and supervise withdrawals from client accounts in breach of professional rules (including Rule 7), the appellants' defences of client authorisation and deception by a clerk were unsupported, the failure to render bills was rightly found where access to files had been conceded, and the Court will not interfere with the Tribunal's penalty assessment which was adjusted for totality and proportionality; appeals are therefore dismissed.
