Merilyn Brown

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

Merilyn Brown, a barrister, was found to have acted dishonestly by making false statements on a job application form to Whittington Hospital NHS Trust (falsely denying prior dismissal, falsely stating reason for leaving previous role, falsely certifying accuracy), failing to correct these at interview, and later falsely claiming she worked only part-time at another trust when she worked full-time. The Tribunal found dishonest and discreditable conduct with intent to gain financially, and disbarred her.

Duties found breached:

• Uphold public trust in the profession
• Good faith and courtesy to colleagues

Aggravating factors:

• Intention of making financial gain/advantage for herself in obtaining employment
• Multiple false statements on job application and at interview
• Further dishonesty about working part-time when in truth working full-time
