As a result of their punishment, they were struck off from the roll of lawyers in England and therefore not eligible to practise as a lawyer.

The Court of Appeal concluded, on the question of whether Einfeld was a fit and proper person to remain on the roll of lawyers:

Bent, being under the influence of his brother Jeffery Hart Bent, had Brooks and Hook unanimously adopt a rule that no attorney who had been struck off the roll of lawyers should be admitted to practise before the court.

Windvogel had taken too long to enter his notice of intention to defend, and applied for postponement of the applications to have his name struck off the roll of lawyers, as well as the interdict for him to stop working.

On 23 July 2009 the NSW Court of Appeal found that he was guilty of professional misconduct, was not a fit and proper person to remain on the roll of lawyers and ordered he be removed from it.
