David Alfonso Airoll, a non-solicitor employed as a solicitor's clerk and book keeper by Messrs. Hughes Watton, was found to have improperly withdrawn £1,941.60 from client account in his own favour and acknowledged a total client-fund shortfall of £2,291.60 relating to a property transaction and unlodged cash receipts. He left the firm in February 1995 and agreed to make recompense. The Tribunal found the allegation substantiated and made a section 43 order restricting his employment within the solicitors' profession, and ordered him to pay costs of £1,315.87. No express finding of dishonesty was recorded, and the respondent did not appear.
