Disciplinary and Regulatory Proceedings by Brian Harris Pdf

Disciplinary and Regulatory Proceedings is the leading work on this important and dynamic area of law in the UK. The book provides an authoritative examination of the general principles that apply to all UK regulatory and disciplinary tribunals, including coverage of the basis of the tribunal's authority and extent of its jurisdiction, natural justice, human rights, grounds for disciplinary action, investigations, the decision to prosecute, hearings, evidence, appeals, and enforcement. It goes on to examine the specific working of three major professional areas in the UK: healthcare, the FSA, and legal services. In addition to this core commentary, guidance on the practical application of the general principles is provided, looking in detail at such issues as the retrospective effect of rule changes, malicious falsehood, data protection and freedom of information, whistle-blowing, and guidance on defending a claim or how to avoid or defuse a claim. The disciplinary arrangements of the most prominent regulators are described in outline in a separate section. Since the previous edition, the regulatory arrangements of most of the important statutory regulators have undergone a massive restructuring by Parliament, which is reflected throughout this seventh edition, notably in the chapters relating to legal, financial, and health services. Many notable recent cases are examined, covering various legal realms: the perils of taking shortcuts in investigations and the charging process * the right to cross examine * the role of privilege in the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal * waiver of natural justice * impartial tribunals and the incompatibility of tribunal members' roles * the desirability of indicative sanctions * Convention rights in Interim Orders.

The Ethics and Conduct of Lawyers in England and Wales by Andrew Boon Pdf

The fourth edition of this respected textbook examines the regulation and conduct of lawyers in England and Wales and addresses new developments in the field, including those in international practice, sexual misconduct, and the environment. Focusing on the practice of, and interrelationship between, solicitors and barristers, the book provides background to current arrangements while exploring contemporary rules of conduct, systems of regulation, and controversies. The four main parts cover client duties, wider obligations, key contexts, and regulation. Parts one to three provide an academic introduction to the subject of lawyers' ethics. They are suitable as a core text for a semester course at undergraduate level, providing grounding for vocational training, such as the Solicitors' Qualifying Examination. Comparisons are made with conduct rules applying in other leading common law jurisdictions where relevant. These parts also explore links between the subject of ethics and the development of lawyers' practical skills. Part four applies the general principles to three elements of regulation: practice, admission, and discipline. The approach throughout is socio-legal. While the essential law is described, relevant social science research informs consideration of issues and debates.

The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal by Frederick Wright Pdf

Following the dirty tricks of the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Colin Chesterton's Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal Panel the seal of approval was given by Lord Justice Warby at the Court of Appeal. A real Crusader this 'honourable' gentleman. In 2011 Mark Warby Q.C was joint Head of Chambers at London's top set of libel barristers known as '5RB' - 5 Raymond Buildings, Gray's Inn. On 22 July 2011 his chamber's client, the Ministry of Justice and the Police, Norway had their entire building in Oslo blown up by the car-bomb of Muslim-hater Anders Behring Breivik ... who then drove on to Utøya Island and proceeded to methodically shoot dead 69 youths attending the ruling Labour Party's annual seminary. All murdered in cold-blood because they represented the governing party in Norway who Breivik believed had let in too many Muslim immigrants. The government needed to be taught a firm lesson for allowing the Islamisation of Norway. Breivik's ideas, but not his actions, were in fact very well received in Norway by the white-skinned Norwegian sector. The Norwegian Press had been writing for years about the 'plague' of Islam. Farid El Diwany, Solicitor at the Port of London Authority from 1989-1998 and later of 14 Old Square, Lincoln's Inn made the front pages of the mainstream Norwegian Press from 1995-2011 as the first ever 'Muslim Sex-terrorist' ... who just happened to be suffering from a 'severe case of erotic paranoia'. On 24 May 1995 in Norway's Bergens Tidende newspaper Farid El Diwany was referred to as 'Muslim' 19 times in association with his alleged 'sex-terror' ... Yes! 19 times in one article! His accuser, the sexualised and very promiscuous Heidi Schøne, was a registered mental patient at the Buskerud Psychiatric Hospital in Lier, Norway. The Bergens Tidende article was later declared a hate-crime by Detective Constable Alex Mallen of the Met Police. It was Mark Warby Q.C's junior barrister, rising star David Hirst, who, standing before Mrs Justice Sharp at the Royal Courts of Justice on 16 March 2011 described Mr El Diwany's decision to simply defend himself against Norwegian Press allegations ... that he was, in toto: a potential child-killer, insane Muslim sex-abuser pervert, writer of 5,840 letters to his former girlfriend Heidi, maker of 13 years of obscene phone calls and 13 years of death threats to her; sectioned by his mother in a psychiatric hospital for two years and much more besides ... as a symptom of his severe mental illness.

Lawyers and the Proceeds of Crime by Katie Benson Pdf

The role played by legal professionals in the laundering of criminal proceeds generated by others has become a priority concern for authorities at national and international levels. This ground-breaking book presents an in-depth empirical analysis of the nature of lawyers’ involvement in the facilitation of money laundering and its control through criminal justice and regulatory mechanisms. It is based on qualitative research combining analysis of cases of lawyers convicted of money laundering offences with interviews with criminal justice practitioners, members of professional and regulatory bodies and practising solicitors, and analysis of relevant national and international legislative and regulatory frameworks. The book demonstrates the complex and diverse nature of lawyers’ involvement in laundering activity, and shows that their actions and the decisions they take must be understood in relation to the specific situational contexts in which they occur. It provides significant new insights into the criminal justice and regulatory response to professional facilitation of money laundering in the UK, raising questions about the effectiveness and appropriateness of the response and the challenges involved. The book develops a framework for future research and analysis in this area, and proposes a range of potential strategies for controlling the facilitation of money laundering. Lawyers and the Proceeds of Crime is essential reading for those researching money laundering, white-collar crime or organised crime, and for practitioners and policy makers concerned with preventing the facilitation of money laundering.
