On an approved Agreed Outcome, the SDT found that solicitor Alex Richard Guy, while acting as a deputy, raised bills for work not done/not properly chargeable and improperly transferred £272,917.68 (JH) and £58,759.91 (AS) to the firm's office account, kept Apple products to the value of £2,275.00 bought with a client's (JR) money, and provided the Office of the Public Guardian with untruthful/misleading information. He admitted Allegations 1.2, 1.3, 1.6 and part of 1.4 together with dishonesty in respect of each. Allegations 1.1 and 1.5 were withdrawn/dismissed (no evidence offered). The Tribunal found dishonesty at the highest level, with no exceptional circumstances, and ordered him struck off the Roll and to pay costs of £17,000. An application to embargo the judgment pending a speculative criminal investigation was refused.

Duties found breached:

• Non-discriminatory acceptance and cab-rank
• Proper basis for allegations
