Past disciplinary findings

Rupert Bowers, a barrister and BSB regulated individual, behaved in a way which is likely to diminish the trust and confidence which the public places in him or in the profession, in that, on 10 October 2022 he drove a motor vehicle in a public place after consuming so much alcohol that the proportion of it in his breath, namely 82 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, exceeded the prescribed limit, for which he was convicted of an offence under section 5(1)(a) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and Schedule 2 to the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 at Sevenoaks Magistrates' Court on 10 November 2022.
