Bryant and another v Law Society
[2007] EWHC 3043 (Admin); [2009] 1 WLR 163
Key Principle
The test for dishonesty in solicitors' disciplinary proceedings is the combined (Twinsectra/Ghosh) two-stage test, requiring that the solicitor acted dishonestly by the ordinary standards of reasonable and honest people and was aware that by those standards he was acting dishonestly; and the Tribunal must take account of relevant character evidence when determining dishonesty.
