Abarrister who was suspended from practice after he accidentally caused the death of a pensioner by dangerous driving can return to work after the High Court allowed his appeal against his suspension.
Hamish Hickey, called in 2008, admitted causing death by dangerous driving and was sentenced to 23 months imprisonment in November 2024. Following his release on licence, in August 2025, the Bar Tribunals & Adjudication Service imposed an 11-month suspension.
