Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision

A 31-year-old solicitor was convicted of 22 serious offences including trafficking methylamphetamine and GHB, plus numerous other offences and breaches of bail undertakings, and sentenced to eight years six months imprisonment. Though the criminal conduct occurred outside legal practice, the Tribunal found professional misconduct on both charges. The conduct demonstrated a character lacking integrity incompatible with legal practice, and the current probability was that she was permanently unfit to practise. The Tribunal recommended removal from the Roll and ordered her to pay standard costs. No express finding of dishonesty was made (the decision referred to a lack of integrity).', 'y'}}.
