    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV326/2007

    Although the appellant was complicit in a dishonest scheme to defraud an insurer and there were aggravating features, the nine-month removal was manifestly excessive in all the circumstances; appellate responsibility required reduction of the suspension to four months to proportionately sanction the misconduct while allowing the appellant to continue to practise subject to a substantial penalty.
