Answer 1

Dr Sandy Joseph as a nick name prevents the public from picking up that she has a reputation of professional negligence which will recur and disadvantage the public. barrister should use their correct name particularly when client due diligence will be conducted on a fake name or nick name that will not reveal issues. When we look up her real name Sandradee Theresa Joseph a FCA report on her professional misconduct comes up. Under Dr Sandy Joseph, this report does not come up. This mean, she is entering contracts with the public using a fake name which is unlawful. The Bar Standard Board and the Legal Ombudman should immediately take action to protect the public. No one should be permitted to continue reaping off the public this way.
