Jenny Guan, an unregistered barrister who was a Second Six Pupil, faced multiple charges of professional misconduct. Charge 3a (admitted) found she acted dishonestly by knowingly misleading or attempting to mislead her pupil supervisor by providing a redacted draft advice without explaining it was a recreated copy rather than the original sent to her peer. Charge 4a(a) was proved: she dishonestly stated she had not sent other work to her peer or anyone else when she had shared other documents externally. Other charges (1, 2a, 2b, 3b, 4a remainder, 4b) were dismissed. The tribunal ordered that no practising certificate be issued for two years effective 24 April 2026, with an immediate order pending appeal, and costs of £3,540 payable to the BSB.
