The number of months a former English solicitor has been jailed for practising after being struck off. Anthony David Preston, of Middlesex, was sentenced to three months in prison at St Albans Crown Court last month. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) prosecuted Mr Preston, who pleaded guilty. Mr Preston had acted in conveyancing transactions, administered an oath and obtained letters of administration despite being struck off the roll in October 2012. He was struck off for dishonesty and misleading clients about the selling prices of properties in their conveyancing transactions. As well as being jailed, Mr Preston was ordered to pay SRA costs of £20,376.30.
