Reasons/basis
This notification relates to a Decision to prosecute before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. This is an independent Tribunal which will reach its own decision after considering all the evidence, including any evidence put forward by the Solicitor. The Tribunal has certified that there is a case to answer in respect of allegations which are or include that:
Between 11 September 2023 and 29 September 2023, while acting for Client A, a claimant in a personal injury matter, Ms Ghai caused or allowed the following misleading statements to be made regarding the existence of a neurology report:
1.1 In an email dated 11 September 2023 at 16:07 to the solicitors representing the defendant, she stated that she did not have the neurology report when she had already received it.
1.2. In a case summary submitted to the Court on or around 21 September 2023, she stated that the neurology report was awaited, when she had already received it.
1.3 In email exchanges with Counsel on 29 September 2023 she stated that she did not have a copy of the neurology report, when she had already received it.
The allegations are subject to a Hearing before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and are as yet unproven.
