The Tribunal's three factors (duty to check accounts/statutory declarations, admission of general awareness, and two-partner firm inference) were insufficient, singly or collectively, to establish the requisite knowledge or involvement for professional misconduct; therefore the finding of professional misconduct was unsafe and must be set aside, with an order nisi for costs in favour of the appellant.
