The Respondent, admitted 1994 and practising with Waran and Co, was found to have been a principal/partner (held out as a partner on letterhead and named as partner in documents submitted to the Law Society) and thus liable under the Solicitors Indemnity Rules 1996 to pay a £1,500 deductible following a settled client claim. He denied being a partner, claiming self-employed status, but the Tribunal rejected this. The allegation was substantiated. He was suspended indefinitely and ordered to pay costs of £3,737. No finding of dishonesty was made.
