Graham Deighton Ford, a solicitor's clerk, had been convicted of criminal offences disclosing dishonesty committed while employed as a solicitor's clerk. The Tribunal found the uncontested allegation substantiated and made a section 43 order restricting his employment by solicitors without Law Society permission. It declined to accept his proposed undertaking. Troubled by the delay in bringing the matter, the Tribunal reduced the applicant's fixed costs of £705 to a contribution of £400.

Duties found breached:
