Reasons/basis
This notification relates to a Decision to prosecute before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. This is an independent Tribunal which will reach its own decision after considering all the evidence, including any evidence put forward by the Solicitor. The Tribunal has certified that there is a case to answer in respect of allegations which are or include that, whilst in practice as a solicitor at Barlow Robbins LLP: -
- Between 1 January 2010 and 30 August 2010 conspired to make untrue or misleading representations in connection with the purchase of ‘Property 1', in breach of sections 1 and 2 of the Fraud Act 2006, including representations to Santander and others as to the true identity of the purchaser of ‘Property 1' the identity of those who would be contributing to the purchase price, the source of the monies that comprised the deposit and the identity of those who would be making payments towards the mortgage, contrary to section 1(1) of the Criminal Law Act 1977.
- Between 31 May 2010 and 30 October 2015 converted property, namely money, which, as he knew or suspected, constituted or represented James Alexander Green's benefit from criminal conduct, contrary to section 327 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
The allegations are subject to a Hearing before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and are as yet unproven.
