Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision

The Applicant, an unadmitted person (CILEX Fellow) who had been a fee-earner at Opes Law Limited, was subject to a s.43 Solicitors Act 1974 order imposed by the Tribunal on 17 December 2020 (after she became a manager/owner of the Firm without SRA approval). She applied on 22 March 2024 to revoke that s.43 order. At the hearing on 5 August 2024 she withdrew the revocation application. The Tribunal's permission was not required for withdrawal, and it acceded to the withdrawal, ordering the Applicant to pay agreed costs of £2,200. No new findings of misconduct or dishonesty were made in this decision.
