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

Barrister Ramya Nagesh faced 6 charges arising from her conduct representing a client at a remote inquest at Pontypridd Coroner's Court on 6 December 2022, including allegations of lateness, failing to participate actively, dishonesty/attempting to mislead the coroner, breaching her duty to the court, and failing to act in her client's best interests. The Tribunal accepted uncontested medical evidence from Dr Munro that she was suffering from an undiagnosed condition of fatigue and excessive sleepiness causing partial sleep, confusion and impaired cognition. It found her a completely reliable, honest and credible witness with no attempt to mislead. All charges were dismissed. The Tribunal expressly criticised the BSB for failing to reconsider the charges once the medical evidence was available, for not instructing its own expert, and for framing charges based on the coroner's letter rather than the transcript. No dishonesty was found.
