Dear Solicitors Regulation Authority,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Solicitors Regulation Authority's handling of my FOI request 'Complaint figures in the past year'.

I asked for the complaint figures you have had in the past year. Your answer was wholly unsatisfactory. Please answer my question, not give me a general link.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...

SRA Information Compliance, Solicitors Regulation Authority

Dear Ms Soper,

Thank you for your email.

Please see below for the relevant information published in our annual review:

"We received 11,508 reports in 2017/18.

Files where allegations were upheld/action taken: 251

Cases brought to the SDT: 134

(Total cases which result in regulatory action: 385)

These outcomes do not all relate to concerns made to us in 2017/18.

This is because not all cases will be resolved within a year, although most internal investigations are resolved within a 12-month period. However, if a matter is referred to the SDT, it may take longer to come to a close."

For further breakdown of these numbers, please refer to our annual review.

Yours sincerely,

Jack Baraczewski
