Yvonne Turley, called to the Bar in March 2000, faced a 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal which decided on 10 February 2014. On two charges she had practised as a barrister and held herself out as such between 2011 and 2012 without complying with the practice requirements of paragraph 202(a)-(d), constituting serious professional misconduct. On a third charge, between April and August 2012, she dishonestly and falsely represented to her lay client (in telephone calls and an email of 23 August 2012) that she had submitted a claim/application to the Employment Tribunal, knowing this to be false. She was suspended for 18 months on charges 1 and 2 and disbarred on charge 3, with costs of £397.85.
