Martin Christie

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

Martin Christie made a false written declaration on Call to the Bar in April 2003, affirming that his 1999 admission declaration to Gray's Inn was accurate when it failed to disclose relevant criminal convictions. He also failed to disclose to the Benchers his April 2001 guilty plea to forgery at Chester Crown Court (conditional discharge for two years plus £290 costs). The tribunal found this conduct dishonest or otherwise discreditable and disbarred him.

Duties found breached:

• Good faith and courtesy to colleagues
