Richard Boyd outside the York North Yorkshire Law office
A LAW firm with offices in Yorkshire has been shut down because a managing partner is suspected of dishonesty by the industry regulator.
The regulator moved to close down North Yorkshire Law yesterday (February 16) over what it said was suspected dishonesty on the part of its managing partner, Richard Boyd.
In a closure decision notice, the Solicitors Regulation Authority said it had intervened in North Yorkshire Law because it was satisfied that there was reason to 'suspect dishonesty on the part of Mr Richard Charles Boyd in connection with the firm’s business' and that 'one or more of the terms of the firm’s licence had not complied with'.
