Solicitor struck off for selling property with co-owner’s knowledge
['Neil Rose']
Legal Futures
A solicitor who sold a property he part-owned without the knowledge of his co-owner has been struck off.
Mr Jones qualified in 2003 and was at the time a senior equity partner, joint owner and head of commercial property of Cardiff and Bristol firm Insight Law.
GJ vacated the house in 2011, leaving Mr Jones to manage it and spend more money to make it fit for sale.
Mr Jones argued that there was an agreement for the sale and that he had GJ’s authority to do it.
It decided to strike off Mr Jones, who now lives in France, and ordered him to pay costs of £25,000.
