Two solicitors formerly of King Partners Solicitors failed to pay the outstanding ARP indemnity insurance premium (£16,695.87 owed plus run-off premium) for 2009/2010 and failed to respond to SRA enquiries. Neither attended the hearing. The Tribunal found both allegations proved beyond reasonable doubt and imposed indefinite suspension on each, recommending no termination until the premium was paid in full. Costs of £1,011.08 ordered against the First Respondent and £1,927.21 (including substituted service) against the Second Respondent, totalling £2,938.29. No dishonesty was alleged or found.

Duties found breached:

• Professional indemnity insurance
• Good faith and courtesy to colleagues

Aggravating factors:

• Failure to engage with Capita and the SRA
• Failure to respond to repeated correspondence
• Failure to attend the hearing
