- High Court
The High Court dismissed the judicial review: the Tribunal's factual finding that no mutual understanding existed and that the solicitor misled the lender was reasonable; the apparent bias complaint was waived when the applicant declined to object at the hearing; the Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the disciplinary charge; procedural complaints did not warrant quashing the decision though the Tribunal's practice of dealing with penalty at the same hearing was criticised as potentially unfair.
