London - A solicitor who was convicted of attempting to rape a 25-year-old colleague after a Highland ball was yesterday banned for life from practising as a lawyer.
A disciplinary tribunal decided Angus Diggle had brought the profession into disrepute after another conviction in April 1996 for being drunk and disorderly. Diggle (41), was not present at the Solicitors' Disciplinary Tribunal in central London. He has 14 days to appeal.
