Martin Christie

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

Martin Christie, called to the Bar by Gray's Inn in July 2003, was found in breach of paragraph 902 of the Code of Conduct (7th Edition). His written declaration on Call dated 21 April 2003 falsely confirmed his 1999 admission declaration was true and accurate, when it omitted relevant criminal convictions. He also engaged in dishonest/discreditable conduct before Call by failing to disclose to the Benchers his 27 April 2001 Chester Crown Court guilty plea to forgery (conditional discharge of two years and £290 costs). A 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal on 26 October 2015 disbarred him.

Duties found breached:

• Cease acting on client perjury or disobedience
• Not mislead third parties or opponents
