The solicitor appealed against a finding that he had behaved in a way likely to diminish the trust in the legal profession in the conduct of a conveyancing transaction when he had failed to see the signs of fraudulent activity.
Held: The appeal failed. The failure to keep appropriate attendance notes itself showed a failure to exercise the apprpriate caution.
