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

The Respondent, a solicitor practising in partnership at George Emanuel Solicitors, faced ten allegations arising from failures to comply with undertakings (to other solicitors and lender clients), failure to register titles and pay Stamp Duty Land Tax, billing clients for work not done, failing to account for clients' monies, and failing to co-operate with the SRA. She did not appear and was not represented. The Tribunal found all allegations proved, including a lack of integrity (Rule 1.02), but no dishonesty was alleged. Given the seriousness, missing client monies, and the need to protect the public, and finding no feasible conditions for suspension, the Tribunal struck her off the Roll and ordered costs of £12,509.05 (not to be enforced without leave).
