Damian McCarthy

Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision

Damian McCarthy, called by Gray's Inn in 1994, was found by a 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal (decision 9 June 2016) to have acted dishonestly: on or about 22 June 2009 he sent the BSB four client care letters which he falsely asserted had been sent to his lay client in compliance with the Public Access Rules, knowing they were recent creations. He also failed (July-August 2008) to promptly send a public access client the required written communication. He was disbarred.

Duties found breached:

• No improper communication with the court
• Good faith and courtesy to colleagues
