Kay Brown, a cashier employed at a solicitors' firm, was convicted by Northampton Magistrates on 2 July 1992 of multiple counts of theft of cash belonging to her employer and one count of dishonestly falsifying a bank paying-in counterfoil under the Theft Act 1968. The Law Society applied for a Section 43 order. The respondent had disappeared and did not appear; notice was served by newspaper advertisement. The Tribunal found the allegation substantiated and made the order restricting her employment within the solicitors' profession without Law Society permission, and ordered her to pay costs of £1,138.70.
