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, while in practice as a Senior Solicitor at Buckles Solicitors LLP:-

1. Between 23 September 2022 and 23 November 2023, she made statements to clients, colleagues, and others in correspondence and/or in telephone conversations, which she knew or ought to have known were misleading in that she told them:

1.1. she had submitted applications for Grants of Probate;

1.2. she had chased the Probate Registry applications for Grants of Probate when she had not done so.

The allegations are subject to a Hearing before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and are as yet unproven.
