Mr Cozens Tom Braide of London engaged in
conduct unbefitting to ILEX or likely to bring ILEX or its members
into disrepute contrary to Rule 1(1) of the Code of Conduct and/or
conducted himself in such a manner as to cast doubt on his
professional integrity contrary to Rule 1 (2) of the Code of
Conduct.
The particulars to the charge were that:
Mr Braide was convicted of two counts of
providing immigration advice and services in contravention of
Section 84 Immigration & Asylum Act 1999.
Mr Braide provided immigration advice and
assistance without being authorised to do so by ILEX and/or in
circumstances where he was specifically not permitted by ILEX to
provide such advice and assistance.
Mr Braide failed to undertake the work
that he was instructed to complete for his client, failed to keep
clients informed of the progress of cases, and failed to act in the
best interests of clients.
Mr Braide provided misleading information
indicating that he was entitled to provide immigration advice and
services as a member of ILEX in circumstances where he was aware
that he was not permitted by ILEX so to do.
