According to the SRA a residential conveyancer is to be prosecuted before a tribunal over suspected false statements.

Christakis Pittordou, (SRA ID- 117521) of C.Pittordou & Co based at 32 The Enterprise Centre, Cranborne Road, Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, is to appear before a Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal the SRA has announced.

The SRA states that Mr Pittordou has been accused of making statements in an application for Professional Indemnity Insurance which he knew were untrue and took unfair advantage of a third party by failing to disclose all material information required to make an informed decision.

He is also accused of failing to run his business effectively and in accordance with sound financial and risk management principles.

These allegations are as yet unproven and remain subject to the tribunal which will reach its own decision after considering all evidence, including any provided by Mr Pittordou.

According to the Law Society Mr Pittordou traded within commercial property law and residential conveyancing.
