Solicitor loses legal action over supervision
John Condon, who has been a solicitor for 35 years and is principal of McMahon and Tweedy, Merchant’s Quay, Dublin, challenged a Law Society committee’s requirement that his practising certificate for 2016 would only be issued on the basis of him being supervised by a lawyer of 10 years standing.
He claimed he did not require supervision at all and that he had been given no opportunity to make submissions to the society’s complaints and clients relation committee before it imposed the condition.
