Ms Maxsood applied to remove indefinite practice conditions imposed by the Tribunal in 2017 (which barred her from being a sole practitioner, partner/member of a recognised body, or COLP/COFA) following a finding of lack of integrity (not dishonesty) over misleading information in an insurance form. The SRA opposed the application, citing limited insight and limited professional rehabilitation. The Tribunal, without going behind the original judgment, focused on the Applicant as she now presented, found strong evidence of rehabilitation, genuine high insight, full compliance, and no continuing risk to the public. It granted the application and removed the conditions, making no order for costs. No dishonesty was found in either the original or present proceedings.

Duties found breached:

• Self-report to the regulator

Mitigating factors:

• No further misconduct in the seven years since conditions imposed
• Scrupulous compliance with the conditions
• Strong evidence of rehabilitation, remorse and genuine high-level insight
• Extensive CPD/training including ethics, integrity and compliance courses
• Positive character/employer reference
• Was relatively newly admitted in 2017 and the main instigator was a more experienced partner
• Was unrepresented and emotional at the original hearing
