Strike-off for Misleading Divorce Client and Firm
A solicitor with 18 years of experience has been struck off for misleading a divorce client about the progress of her case.
Kathryn Poole, admitted in September 2007, was found to have maintained a pretence for three months that she was awaiting requested information from a pension provider, despite having failed to apply for it before a court-imposed deadline.
Her trust in the legal profession is 'broken', said the client.
Poole, a consultant solicitor with Cornwall firm Vingoe Family Law, was struck off by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.
