Reasons/basis

This notification relates to a Decision to bring Disciplinary Proceedings before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. This is an independent Tribunal which will reach its own decision after considering all the evidence, including any evidence put forward by the Solicitor. The Tribunal has certified that there is a case to answer in respect of allegations which are or include that:-

The referral concerns a number of posts made by Mr Lea on his personal social media account between 2015 and 2023. The SRA alleges that certain of those posts were inappropriate and/or offensive, and that some posts were capable of invoking antisemitic tropes.

The allegations are subject to a Hearing before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and are as yet unproven.
