Mr Heywood failed to comply with his obligation to advise the
Department of Work and Pensions of changes to his circumstances as
he was required to do whilst in receipt of disability
benefit. Mr Heywood was prosecuted, pleaded guilty to the
charge against him and was sentenced to a community rehabilitation
order with a supervision period of 12 months on 16 June
2009.
Consequently, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) made an
order against Mr Heywood under s43 Solicitors Act 1974 (as amended)
on 13 January 2011. That order prevented Mr Heywood being
employed in a legal capacity without the prior consent of the
SRA.
