A “brilliantly successful’ KC who fibbed to an interview panel about studying at Oxford University and being a really good cricketer had been disbarred. He also said he had played cricket for the bar, Lashings Cricket Club and the MCC, and that he was a cricketing blue having represented Oxford in a varsity match against Cambridge. “Rather unusually”, his CV stated he had spent only one year at Oxford University, from 1993 to 1994, and it also did not list his college. But the tribunal chair said it was “impossible” to find that the silk’s mitigating circumstances outweighed his wrongdoing and ordered him to be disbarred. Mohindru must pay the BSB’s costs of £54,780, and on Sunday he also stood down as a board member of Essex County Cricket Club “with immediate effect”.
