Ex-Solicitor's Failed Bid to Return to Profession
A former solicitor, struck off less than four years ago, has failed to convince a tribunal to allow him back onto the roll.
Raj Mariaddan told the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal that he accepted the decision to strike him off, but then repeatedly referred to the sanction as
'draconian'.
He claimed that he should never have been investigated, let alone prosecuted, and maintained that the proceedings against him were unjust.
The tribunal stated that Mariaddan has refused to acknowledge that the original findings were correct.
