"O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

The High Court today issued a warrant for the arrest of a prominent solicitor after she failed to attend a hearing to answer allegations of contempt of court.

You'll never guess who it is...! 

The SRA, which earlier this month obtained an injunction to stop Khan ‘unlawfully’ acting as a lawyer through JFP, alleged Khan was in contempt of court by failing to comply with two High Court orders requiring her to deliver up client files.
Khan sought an adjournment of today’s committal hearing, claiming that she needed ‘emergency elective surgery’ – which Mr Justice Fancourt said was ‘a contradiction in terms’.

I get the feeling the judge is not disposed to give her the benefit of the doubt here... 

She also said that she needed legal representation, although the SRA’s barrister Rupert Allen said Khan had previously been ‘categorical’ in saying she could represent herself.

Heh!  

The judge said he had formed the view that ‘she will not voluntarily attend the court based on everything I have seen of her over the last month’. Fancourt said that the ‘only sensible option’ open to him was to issue a bench warrant, not backed for bail, to ‘have her arrested and brought to the court’. ‘It means she will be found and arrested and brought to the court,’ he added.

I bet every eye in every force is peeled, don't you, Reader? 

The court heard that the committal hearing may be heard on Friday, if Khan can be found and brought to the court.

Wow! Better order in another pantechnicon of popcorn...

Jaded,
I suspect that your comment about the learned lady might be the strongest that you have offered us on any subject.

I hope she gets arrested on Christmas Eve. She can then spend a few days in police cells contemplating her future. She might also wonder what the custody sergeant has dipped in her custard.

@ Nemisis
You must have missed WC Jaded's posts wishing me a 'slow and painful death' and the other foul-mouthed rants of the psychotic plod which the blog operator saw fit to publish.

That's as maybe, but you and Jaded have history - her wishes for this "lawyer" appear to be out of the blue.

Don't worry Melvin, you're still top of my buffoon list.
Nemesis, MTG has a running by saying I'm female. It's probably hilarious in Huddersfield

I don't think even Allah can help her now. The one thing the English Court system cannot abide is someone who mocks it.

"I hope she gets arrested on Christmas Eve. She can then spend a few days in police cells contemplating her future. She might also wonder what the custody sergeant has dipped in her custard."

That penis transplant may have gone to WC Jaded's head.
