Application to remove practice restrictions originally imposed in 2017 (following a 2012 indefinite suspension for failing to pay indemnity insurance premium, breaching Rule 16.2 of the Solicitors Indemnity Insurance Rules). A 2021 application to remove conditions had been refused. The SRA was neutral. The Tribunal found Mr Kang had rehabilitated himself, gained insight, and addressed the 2021 concerns, and granted removal of all restrictions, ordering agreed costs of £1,781.00.
