Md Mohiuddin Hossain

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

Mr Hossain signed a lease declaration confirming he had witnessed Mr Ali sign in his presence when Mr Ali was not present. The Tribunal found the allegation proved including dishonesty under the Ivey test, and breaches of Principles 2 and 6. Proceeding in his absence, the Tribunal found no exceptional circumstances to avoid strike-off. He was struck off the Roll and ordered to pay costs reduced to £1,800 (from claimed £23,550/assessed £20,850) reflecting his limited means.

Duties found breached:

• Honesty
• Integrity
• No conflict between current clients

Aggravating factors:

• Conduct was deliberate
• Vulnerability of others due to lack of literacy
• Ought to have known he was in material breach of professional obligations

Mitigating factors:

• Single episode of brief duration
• Otherwise unblemished career/clean record
• Co-operated with the SRA (though admissions less than fully open and frank)
