The Court allowed the appeal on penalties, finding the SDT erred in treating the conduct as dishonest and in imposing consecutive post-suspension supervisory conditions; it substituted a censuring order and concurrent suspensions yielding a total suspension of 12 months (6 months concurrent for Complaints 3–5 and 12 months concurrent for Complaints 6–8), set aside the post-suspension supervisory/partnering condition, adjusted costs allocations, and granted conditional leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal on specified public importance questions with security and stay conditions.
