The Respondent, a solicitor admitted in 2004, was convicted at Croydon Crown Court on 21 November 2008 of two counts of assisting unlawful immigration and one count of possession of false identity documents with intent, and sentenced to four years imprisonment. The SRA alleged breaches of Rules 1.01, 1.02 and 1.06 of the Solicitors Code of Conduct 2007 by virtue of his conviction and imprisonment. The Respondent did not attend; his adjournment application (citing innocence, intended appeal, illness and custody) was refused for lack of supporting evidence. The sentencing judge described him as a dishonest crook who preyed on vulnerable people. The Tribunal found the allegation proved and struck him off the Roll, ordering costs of £1,106.62.
