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

Raj Mariaddan, struck off in 2022 following findings of serious misconduct including dishonesty (providing misleading information to a law firm and insurance broker, and practising without valid PII), applied for restoration to the Roll in 2025. The Tribunal refused the application, finding it premature (made within three years of strike-off, whereas six years is generally required absent exceptional circumstances), and that the applicant had not demonstrated insight, remorse, rehabilitation, or acceptance of responsibility. He characterised the original decision as 'draconian' and made unsupported factual assertions (about medical evidence and the original judgment) undermining his credibility. The Tribunal concluded he remained a risk to the public and profession and ordered costs of £4,150.50.
