Looks like it was a fig leaf consultation, with the decision to move to the civil standard having already been made.

There is a very uneasy/unhealthy relationship between the SRA and the SDT and (in most cases) a complete inequality of arms between the SRA and the respondent solicitor. Having caved in to pressure from the SRA on the lowering of the standard of proof, the SDT can now repent at leisure.
