Reasons/basis
The above interim conditions are made under rule 3.2 of the SRA Regulatory and Disciplinary Procedure Rules, which states that at any stage an authorised decision maker may, pending a final decision by the SRA or the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal, impose interim conditions on the practising certificate of a solicitor, the registration of a REL or RFL or the authorisation of a body. We are satisfied that these conditions are necessary in the public interest or for the protection of the public.
