A five-day trial has commenced in which the Royal Bank of Scotland is claiming £120,000 from Michael McCarthy, former partner of Manchester firm Halliwells.
McCarthy alleges the money, part of a loan from the bank, should have been repaid by the firm on his retirement before Halliwells’ administration in 2010.
Bar standards watchdog apologises for adding to the trauma of an 'already distressing situation'.
