It’s a busy week for this sort of behaviour …
The UK Law Gazette reports..
A solicitor who applied for a £30,000 loan using forged signatures of his wife and former colleagues has been struck off the roll.
Michael Cahill, admitted in May 2002, was found by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal to have acted dishonestly in applying for the loan using documents he knew to be false.
Cahill did not represent himself at the one-day hearing in May but told the SRA that he did not consider the matters relating to the loan application to have any relevance to his profession. He said the ‘spurious’ allegations arose from his estranged wife’s wish to take personal and professional vengeance against him.
