Soloman v Savage (No 2)

The parties in this matter were Soloman (the applicant) and Savage (the respondent). The dispute concerned allegations of professional misconduct by a legal practitioner. The case was heard in the Court of Appeal of New South Wales.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the papers in the proceedings should be referred to the Law Society of New South Wales for investigation into the conduct of a legal practitioner.

The Court of Appeal determined that there were sufficient grounds to warrant a referral. While the specific details of the alleged misconduct are not elaborated upon in the provided text, the Court's decision indicates that it found evidence or allegations of a nature that required scrutiny by the professional body responsible for regulating legal practitioners. The Court applied the principles governing the referral of matters concerning legal practitioners' conduct, which typically involve assessing whether there is a prima facie case of misconduct or conduct unbecoming of a legal practitioner.

The Court ordered that the papers in this matter be referred to the Law Society.
