Tara Kate Kitchener, a solicitor's clerk employed as a cashier by Shoosmiths & Harrison, was convicted at Clerkenwell Magistrates Court on 13 October 1994 of dishonestly obtaining money by deception and theft of petty cash. She had taken petty cash totalling £920 and falsified accounting records relating to a £749.97 insurance commission cheque, which was made payable to an accomplice rather than divided among clients. She received a two-year Probation Order and was ordered to pay £1,670 compensation to her former employers. The Tribunal found the allegation substantiated and made a Section 43 order controlling her employment within the profession, plus fixed costs of £658.
