Nadine Wilson-Ellis, a barrister called by Gray's Inn in November 2008, was convicted at Bristol Crown Court of 2 counts of dishonestly making false representations contrary to the Fraud Act 2006 (fraudulently obtaining financial assistance in respect of the letting of a council house, 2008-2011) and sentenced on 20 August 2013 to 7 months imprisonment. She also failed to promptly report her conviction to the Bar Standards Board. The 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal found this conduct discreditable to a barrister and disbarred her.
