Emmanuel Anoliefo appealed under s.42ZA(10) of the Solicitors (Scotland) Act 1980 against the Law Society's decision of 12 December 2024 to take no further action on his complaint of unsatisfactory professional conduct against solicitor Haroun T Malik. The Tribunal, applying the Hood principles, found the appellant's eight grounds of appeal lacked relevancy and specification, upheld the Law Society's preliminary pleas, and dismissed the appeal. The appellant was found liable in expenses (to be taxed, unit rate £18) and publicity was ordered. No conduct findings or dishonesty findings were made against any solicitor; this was an unsuccessful appeal by a complainer.
