If you get caught being stupid, don’t try and deny being stupid like they did it’ll only cost you money and cred.
I can’t imagine a situation where I would sign pleadings on a private client’s behalf. Tedious as it may sound, I read them out loud to the client. I ask them if they are 100% happy. I ask them if they fully understand everything I’ve read – including the Statement of Truth. Then I explain what a SoT is and why it is very important. Then they sign in front of me and I make a full file note in respect of the same which is typed, signed and dated and placed on the file later that day.
Being able to say, “it’s your signature” will save your bacon one day.
