Denied it when confronted by firmA junior solicitor has been struck off after telling a colleague to hide a file to cover up a lack of progress on a client matter. After being off work for two weeks for health reasons, Perrin contacted a colleague in early 2023, asking her to hide a file. The colleague refused and subsequently reported Perrin to her line manager, according to the decision from Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT). She also denied having told the colleague to hide the file, claiming she was “confused” why that was being said. She was dismissed for gross misconduct in 2023 and has not worked as a solicitor since, according to the ruling.
