The Secret Barrister was reported to the Bar Standards Board on the 8th August 2024.
Before instructing a Barrister it is worth checking if they have any past disciplinary findings and if they are registered as a Barrister of England of Wales.

Fines, sanctions and costs from Bar Standards Board disciplinary findings against Barristers are normally pitiful. Almost pointless !

Barrister Mr Jack Henry Sadler fined just £500 by the Bar Standards Board
Barrister Mr Thomas David Davidson used a German accent during a hearing and said “Jawohl” at the same time as raising a hand in a Nazi salute. He was reprimanded by the Bar Standards Board and was fined £250 with costs of £1,750.
This is hardly a punishment or deterrent by the Bar Standards Board. Where is the justice in this pathetic reprimand ?
We recommend you should always seek formal legal advice if required, from a qualified and reputable lawyer (solicitor or barrister).
