Past disciplinary findings

Nadine Hope, a barrister, failed to promptly report to the Bar Standards Board that a bankruptcy order had been made against her on 20 July 2009, such failure being contrary to paragraph 905(c)(iii) of the Code of Conduct.

Nadine Hope failed to respond promptly to requests from the Bar Standards Board for comments or information on a complaint, in that she failed to respond to letters sent to her by the Bar Standards Board dated 10 August 2010 and 7 September 2010, such failure being serious as to amount to professional misconduct by virtue of its combination with another failure to comply with the Code (being the failure which is the subject of Charge 1 of this Charge Sheet) and by virtue of a previous failure by Miss Hope to comply with the same provision of the Code of Conduct, namely paragraph 905(d), which failure was found proved at Disciplinary Tribunal on 15 June 2010, in respect of Miss Hope?s 2008 CPD requirement.
