This was an application by the Applicant to remove a condition on her practising certificate (imposed in January 2014 following a proved allegation that she improperly permitted herself to be held out as practising in partnership without appropriate recognition) barring her from practising as a sole practitioner. The SRA adopted a neutral position, confirming compliance and no further regulatory concerns. The Tribunal found the Applicant had made significant efforts to address her shortcomings, had shown remorse and insight, and that the condition was no longer necessary to protect the public or the profession's reputation. The application was granted and the Applicant was ordered to pay agreed costs of £2,920.

Mitigating factors:

• Conduct complained of had occurred over 5 years ago
• Continuous employment since the events with no complaints or client issues
• No regulatory or disciplinary concerns since the condition was imposed
• Attended courses addressing management deficiencies previously identified
• Positive character references and client satisfaction surveys
• Showed remorse and insight; complied with the condition throughout
