Wow, I can barely believe that story.

And now she's been "struck off", & quite right too.

There are a few things that struck me.
I didnt think you could order through Just Eat without paying by card, prior to placing your order.
I am surprised the takeaway were prepared to deliver, without an upfront payment.
This usually leads to any number of hoax calls.
She knew exactly what she was doing, as she had a previous.
You wouldnt have thought she would have been skint.
She had plenty of opportunity to redress the situation.
She now has a criminal record which is unlikely to make finding another job any easier.
The £100 worth of food ended up costing her around £6,400 as well as her profession, not a very cunning plan.

I can understand her not paying for the hair do , but as "Judge Judy" would say,!

You ordered the Steak you eat the Steak...... You pay for it. ?

Staggering to read that, complete contempt. Maybe she was so used to getting guilty people off that she assumed she'd get away with it too.

@Enut



It's a sensational story, isn't it?

Her whole career - which would have taken years of training to qualify for - down the drain for the sake of paying for two meals. (Or not paying, as the case appears to be).

How long does it take to qualify to be a Solicitor? Must be 3, 4, maybe 5 years? @Essexphil will likely know.

It beggars belief that she thought there would be no consequences for her actions. Even had this been a misunderstanding she had ample opportunities to make it right.

Was it a sense of entitlement or just plain stubbornness to admit she'd been a total idiot or thinking that somehow she was above the law.

I always feel sad when I see people destroy their careers and possibly their lives in such a petty and avoidable way.

@Essexphil; Would say " Our Learned Friend is not so Learned." but that's Hearsay. !

Traditional route?

1. 3 or 4 year Law Degree, or Degree in another subject and 1 year postgraduate law course
2. 1 year LPC (or now the new SQE
3. 2 years training contract

There are quicker ways-but typically 6 years

Cannot understand why this woman chose to have a picture of her appearing to be a Barrister.

We can all make mistakes. Not all Criminal Offences should stop someone being a Solicitor.

But offences involving deliberate dishonesty, such as Fraud?

No sympathy.

Just saw a BBC report on the man coming out of court who is confronted by the reporter, I tried uploading it but for some reason it wouldn't upload here.

It's not like any of these people look like they would really suffer if they missed a meal (or two) is it?

Greed but not in a monetary sense
