The Respondent, a non-solicitor clerk employed by Alliance Solicitors (Feb 2007 to 8 Oct 2007), was convicted of acting as a solicitor while unqualified and sentenced to a community order of 150 hours unpaid work. The Law Society proceeded only on the supplementary allegation (the criminal conviction); three original allegations (creating expert's reports, lodging them with Immigration Tribunals as genuine, and producing a misleading explanation to the SRA) were ordered to remain on the file. With the Respondent's consent and on the basis of the Certificate of Conviction, the Tribunal made a Section 43 Order and ordered costs.

Duties found breached:

• Proper basis for allegations
