SRA bars solicitor from acting as manager, COLP or COFA and from practising on own account under regulatory conditions
The Solicitors Regulation Authority has imposed conditions on the practising certificate of solicitor Rosalind Diana Kathleen Dunning, restricting her ability to hold senior compliance roles and practise independently.
The decision, dated 3 March 2026 and published on 2 April 2026, applies to the 2025/2026 practising year and was made under the regulator’s statutory powers.
Under the conditions, Miss Dunning may not act as a manager or owner of an authorised legal practice. She is also prohibited from acting as a compliance officer for legal practice (COLP) or compliance officer for finance and administration (COFA).
In addition, she may not practise on her own account under regulation 10.2(a) or (b) of the SRA Authorisation of Individuals Regulations.
The SRA said the conditions were imposed in the public interest and were reasonable and proportionate having regard to the regulatory objectives under the Legal Services Act 2007 and the purposes of the Authorisation of Individuals Regulations.
At the time of the matters to which the outcome relates, Miss Dunning was associated with Dunning & Co in Denmark Hill, London. At the time of publication, she was working at Ewings & Co in High Street, London.
No further details about the circumstances leading to the decision were disclosed. The outcome was determined by the SRA without referral to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.
