A former Gibson Dunn partner’s bid to ‘clear his name’ has failed after he was struck off for deliberately misleading London’s High Court.
Peter Gray has been found by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal to have consciously misled the court by failing to draw attention to an error in evidence that had a ‘profound’ impact on the outcome of a successful application for a freezing order.
The controversy first arose in March 2015 when (then) Mr Justice Flaux found that Gray had deliberately misled him when applying for an order on behalf of his client, the Republic of Djibouti, to freeze the assets of a prominent citizen.
