Andrew Elliot Board and Christine Anne Haniver
Application 12092-2020
Reasons 13 January 2021
The first respondent (admitted 1973) and the second respondent (clerk) denied the allegations made against them by the applicant and the SDT found the allegations not proved. The SDT therefore ordered that the allegations be dismissed and further that there be no order for costs.
In December 2012, the first and second respondents had been appointed as joint attorneys under a lasting power or attorney for property and financial affairs on behalf of client A. At around the same time they had also been appointed as client A’s attorneys for health and welfare. The allegations had arisen as a consequence of those appointments.
