HM Land Registry didn t suspect a thing when she delivered the documents.
A junior solicitor who was struck off for faking her colleague s signature is appealing the decision in the High Court.
The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal banned Henna Zeb Khan from the profession for signing conveyancing documents using a senior colleague s name. The documents were submitted to HM Land Registry and the bank.
The incident occurred in 2018 when Khan was a trainee at Bradford firm Stachiw Bashir Green Solicitors, but only came to light in 2019, a few months after Khan qualified.
Khan, who represented herself at a two-day hearing in February, admitted that she had signed the documents in the name of a licensed conveyancer at the firm, Janet Butterfield, but claimed she had been authorised to do so.
