@Scep tic
I believe the SRA Chief Exec uses the Gazette as a political medium to make the SRA appear purposeful and ethical, despite not knowing the meaning of the word ethical.
The supposed deal the SRA made was probably just a bluff by the SRA to make them appear to be doing the decent thing by suggesting a strike-off - in reality the SRA had probably pre-arranged for the SDT to reject the strike-off. That way the SRA doesn't get bad press for inadequate penalties in cases where dishonesty has not been alleged, yet client funds have been misappropriated. Why misappropriation is not automatically classified as dishonesty by default is a nonsense - misappropriation is theft of client funds and theft is unquestionably dishonest. The SRA seems to be attempting to make dishonesty a grey area, so that it can be avoided more readily and so permit the SRA to evade SRACF compensation claims.
