  • SRA accused of “stonewalling” over health statistics

    A solicitor who asked the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to confirm how many times conditions have been placed on practising certificates because of health concerns says he is being “stonewalled” by the regulator.

    Matthew Letts, a restructuring and insolvency specialist, submitted his request for the statistics on 1 March 2026, under the SRA’s transparency code.

    Mr Letts is trying to help an unnamed solicitor who revealed last December in an online post that she had been barred from practising by the SRA, after details of a suicide attempt were seen in her medical records.
