SRA v Evans and Whiteley 11907-2018
Own interest conflict – judgment on an agreed outcome. The respondents acted for clients on the sale of property to a company in which they had a financial interest. They advised the clients to seek separate advice but failed to ensure that they did in fact do so. The respondents were each fined £10,000 plus £25,000 costs, and undertook not to apply for practising certificates for two years.
