The SRA brought allegations against Jonathan Thomas Gorman, formerly Head of Commercial Property at EAD Solicitors LLP, concerning failures to properly advise/protect clients in property transactions, failure to perform an undertaking, and improper use of the client account as a banking facility (breaches of Principles 2,4,5,6,10, Outcome O(11.2) and Accounts Rules 14.5/20.1), with dishonesty and recklessness alleged only as aggravating features. The Respondent did not attend; his late, unsupported adjournment request was refused and the Tribunal decided to proceed in his absence. The supplied text ends within the factual background, so no findings on the merits, no express finding of dishonesty, no sanction and no costs are stated in the available material.
