The Respondent (also known as John Washington) faced allegations arising from a 1 September 2016 conviction on indictment for committing an act/series of acts with intent to pervert the course of public justice, alleged to breach SRA Principles 1 (rule of law/administration of justice), 2 (integrity), and 6 (public trust). The extract covers the Rule 5 Statement, documents considered, and the Applicant's application to proceed in the Respondent's absence (service via post and email; the Respondent had supplied a postal address on 26 February 2018 and a full set of papers was served by email on 25 July 2018). The Respondent provided no documentation. The extract does not include the Tribunal's findings on the allegations or any sanction, so no breaches found, dishonesty, fine, or costs can be reported.
