Leigh Bailey Solicitors v Solicitors Regulation Authority [2011] All ER (D) 192 (Feb)
The reputation of the profession and deferral to the judgement of the profession were at the base of the court’s approach to appeals from adjudicators. However, each case required that careful attention be paid to its individual circumstances. There had to be a careful, calibrated approach to, and consideration of, all of the material when acting to protect the public and the reputation of the profession. That was the only way in which deference to the judgement of adjudicators could be maintained.
