Mahnoor Choudhury, a paralegal at a firm of solicitors, stole a total of around £400 from her employer's petty cash and from colleagues' bags on and before 7 June 2016, failing to act with honesty and integrity and behaving in a way likely to diminish public trust in the profession. After being summarily dismissed on 22 June 2016 for dishonesty, she failed to report this serious misconduct promptly to the Bar Standards Board. The 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal disbarred and reprimanded her.
