Today's Video Focus: Three men were found guilty of planning to conduct a terror attack in
Melbourne, Australia's CBD over the Christmas period in 2016, in a verdict handed
down earlier this month.
Focus of the Day Article:
he High Court has agreed that a former junior lawyer who claimed to
be scared to come clean to her bosses about her misconduct should be
struck off, after the SRA successfully argued had been treated too
leniently at tribunal. Judges in Solicitors Regulation Authority v James & Ors today
ruled that the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal was wrong to opt
against a strike-off and instead to impose a suspended suspension. The
judgment comes less than two weeks after the two-day appeal hearing.
