The Law Society of Scotland brought a Complaint against solicitor David Morrison. At a virtual procedural hearing on 16 July 2025, the Fiscal moved to recall the sist and withdraw the Complaint due to exceptional circumstances supported by an unchallenged medical report concerning the Respondent's condition. The Tribunal granted recall of the sist and withdrawal of the Complaint with no expenses due to or by either party, but refused the request to formally acknowledge the Complainer's power to re-raise proceedings, holding it incompetent. No findings on the merits were made; the matter was withdrawn.

Mitigating factors:

  • Unchallenged medical report describing the Respondent's condition
  • Circumstances described as exceptional
