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

This was a 2020 application by Daniel Lloyd Williams to vary a condition imposed by the Tribunal in December 2015. The original 2015 proceedings (allegations admitted and found proved) concerned fabricating a letter falsely stating a Claim Form had been served, and misleading his client and employers about service within the four-month period, breaching SRA Principles 2 (integrity) and 6 and failing to achieve Outcome 5.6. The 2015 findings were of lack of integrity, not express dishonesty. The 2015 conditions required quarterly medical reports, disclosure to employers, and a bar on certain practice structures. In 2020, supported by 18 compliant medical reports over 4.5 years and his Consultant's view that assessment intervals could be extended, the Applicant sought to reduce report frequency. The SRA did not object to an annual reporting requirement. The Tribunal granted the variation to annual reporting, retained the other conditions, and ordered the Applicant to pay agreed costs of £200.

Mitigating factors:

• Applicant complied with all conditions over 4.5 years, producing 18 timely medical reports with no concerns raised
• Medical reports confirmed he remained fit and well; Consultant supported extending assessment intervals
• Applicant coped well through stressful events including bereavement, challenging family circumstances and a job change
• SRA did not object; variation and costs were agreed
