Anon @ 15.19 - unfortunately, there are many examples where apparently lenient action is taken, or no action at all. The SDT appear willing to simply go along with the way in which the charges are brought by the SRA.

The case that sticks in my mind was Heaney Watson Ltd, where the directors deliberately and consciously used Legal Aid money meant for disbursements to prop up the firm.

Those actions were however not prosecuted as a dishonesty issue (which I still struggle to comprehend), and so no strike off.
