Rabi Sukul

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

Barrister Rabi Sukul created a false document purporting to be an application to appeal against conviction to mislead his former client into believing there were grounds of appeal, and recklessly misled the Court of Appeal into treating it as genuine. A 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal disbarred him on Charge 1 and suspended him for 9 months on Charge 2. The decision found the conduct false and knowingly so, but characterised the misleading of the court as reckless; no express finding of dishonesty is recorded.

Duties found breached:

• Not mislead the court
• No baseless or threatened misconduct report
