Stewarts Law partner struck off after private prosecution

It is staggering that the judge who heard the original proceedings made no observation as to the case's conduct yet the SDT - one of whose members is a lay person, the other a country solicitor - should have the power to hear strike off proceedings, decide on them and delay the issue of its reasoning. Mr Shaw was represented by Mayer Brown and by a silk and he deserves a better hearing in front of a proper judicial panel. I have no doubt Stewarts will get their partner back, he is a reputable practitioner in a highly professional firm. I fear no good will come to Mr Logue as a result of this as well, it may prove to be an expensive and ultimately fruitless exercise for him.
