Mostyn J joins debate on SRA Lack of Integrity test

Mostyn J joins debate on SRA Lack of Integrity test

Two interesting decisions have come from the High Court which offer conflicting views of the definiton of ‘Lack of Integrity’. In Newell-Austin v SRA [2017] EWHC 411√جª¬ø  on 3rd March 2017, Morris J followed a line of authority that concluded that lack of integrity did not equate to dishonesty and that there is no subjective element.

Today however, in the decision in Malins v [SRA 2017 ] EWHC 835 (Admin) , Mostyn J clearly came to a contrary view and decided that Dishonesty and Lack of Integrity are in effect the same. This is important as Dishonesty carries with it almost automatic strike off, and the courts have recently indicated that ‘Lack of Integrity’ in practice may have the same result, but is easier to prove as there is no subjective test.
