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

Barrister Vanessa Tamara Gibson-Marks, called by Lincoln's Inn (July 2000) and a member of the St Lucia Bar, was convicted on 14 October 2014 in St Vincent and the Grenadines, while holding the public office of Registrar of the High Court, of theft of EC$21,925 belonging to the High Court Mediation Programme and of an arbitrary act prejudicial to another's rights (requesting closure of a bank account held for another's benefit) in abuse of her office. The convictions undermined her honesty, integrity and independence and were likely to diminish public trust in her and the profession. She also failed to report her (non-minor) convictions to the BSB. A 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal disbarred her and imposed a £500 fine on 16 January 2017. Final.
