He told him: "If you want to look like something out of Harry Potter you can forget coming to this court ever again." Mr Blacker complained to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office about the comments, saying he was upset his "qualifications, status and offices were brought into disrepute". St John in Wales later said Mr Blacker was not a member of the Order of St John and it had contacted the police over the issue. Now, the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal is looking into seven allegations, including that Mr Blacker: The allegations are subject to a hearing before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and are as yet unproven.
