Midlands solicitor: 'I never took a penny from client account'

A midlands solicitor who has been suspended from practising and had his bank accounts frozen has told the High Court that he has "never benefited from" or taken money from any of his client accounts.

Last week the High Court granted the Law Society various orders against solicitor Eamon Comiskey after it was informed that its Complaints and Client Relations Committee formed the opinion that he is guilty of dishonesty and misconduct.
